How Much is Spent on Fighting Drugs? →
This puts it into perspective. Think of all the better ways this money could be spent: education (drug prevention?), cancer/aids/all disease research, feeding the hungry, etc, etc. Plus, the government could make money while decreasing drug related crime.

HOLIDAY (LOS ANGELES)
I went to the mall yesterday
and I remembered it was Christmas time.
