Human Trafficking. Gangs. Tax fraud. Domestic Terrorism.


All things that can be covered by those employees instead.

On the positive side, don't you think if more people in the world would toke up every once in awhile, that we all may get along just a little better?!

Drug wars aren't about drugs, they're about money.
