Not to sound smug, but it seems obvious that drug lords have a greater conscience: their activities certainly do less damage to people than Republican policies would today. Republicans are not social. They are not for people, they are for big business and big banks. Their policies are destructive to people (and to the economy)!

Because the adverse effects are far more troubling, these drug lords rather eliminate their sale of it all together.
