the social costs of illegal drugs. In the US the street sale amounts to $ 80. billion. Add to this the cost of the homes drugs have broken up. Multiply it the children being born of addicts daily and the cost in taxes to support them, feed them and care for them. Sprinkle in a glimmer of the prison expenditure (here in Fl. it averages $ 25,000. per inmate per year) to incarcerate those caught using, selling, transporting and whatever.

If this is Darwinism, it is on steroids--which is another illegal situation.

I don't think Darwin anywhere included bad legal positions, lack of philosophical understanding, poor public policy, and religious barriers to treatment in his development of natural selection.

Ain't nothing natural about the drug situation.
