   We ended alcohol-prohibition-related violence by relegalizing alcohol.  Until   
   we as a society recognize that "drug-related violence" is actually "drug-   
   prohibition-related violence" and relegalize currently illegal drugs, the   
   violence will never end.

   "Ginsberg's Theorem:   
   	1.  You can't win.   
   	2.  You can't break even.   
   	3.  You can't even quit the game.   
      
   "Freeman's Commentary on Ginsberg's theorem:   
      
   	Every major philosophy that attempts to make life seem   
   	meaningful is based on the negation of one part of Ginsberg's   
   	Theorem.  To wit:   
      
   	1.  Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win.   
   	2.  Socialism is based on the assumption that you can break even.   
   	3.  Mysticism is based on the assumption that you can quit the game."
