Larry, you seem hesitant to put a name on the reason for the population explosion in our prisons and jails over the last 3 decades, so I will do it for you.

That elephant in your living room is named:

"The War on Drugs"

This animal eat$ a lot, and is never satisfied.

But politically, no one would DARE question if this beast is really worth it all.

Not even a county clerk.....:-)
