The people\'s republic

Courts and laws don't change people.

They change what people do, though.
But the important point is this: If the courts are elected democratically and the laws are created through a truly democratic, representative manner, then what the courts and the laws say and what the people say become one and the same thing.

I'm still trying to figure out how long people would have continued to abuse drugs had the legislators and courts not taken such a hard stance. My guess is the abuse would have gone on for as long as 20 more years ... possibly even into the 1960's.
