THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A Foolproof Plan

Lee:

In 2010, the last year when stats were compiled nationwide, over 10,000 people died in alcohol-impaired vehicle crashes. That far outnumbers the people killed by crazies with assault weapons. Clearly, the only way to deal with this tragedy is to prohibit the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. We should call the initiative... Prohibition. It’s bound to work.

Then, we’ll go after the big one - we’ll make the smoking of any plant illegal (excluding the serious mind-altering ones, of course, since they’re harmless). That will save hundreds of thousands of lives every year, and an estimated 5 million worldwide, once the United Nations adopts and enforces the policy globally.
