And the Premier wants a prison just for gang members.Where do these people do their research.In the 70's it was addicts that were segregated as it was felt it was spreading the plague to do otherwise.The truth of it was that it allowed the dopers to plot and scheme together and to keep the syringes stashed on other tiers where the screws never looked.Politicians always speak in knee jerk blurts that bear no resemblance to reality and often make the situation worse than almost any other option.An all gangster prison would do just that.Every day now we turn on the news to check the body count.With the exception of Vancouver's Mayor and 50% of it's people there has been no talk of ending prohibition.Not even on marijuana.With a Premier who has no clue as to what's going on and a Prime minister who wants to expand the drug war there's little chance of any improvements any time soon.We have to keep writing letters and hoping that someone will listen.Meanwhile,the bodies pile up and the police are running interference for two of the provinces most notorious gangsters.They insist they are not taking sides.
