    ---or if we're going to be so hardass on users, why the f*** do we not have the political gump to throw the book and hammer on the biggest f***king facilitators of the international drug trade?!?!

    Not surprising. Our banking and political mobsters make too much money off drugs being illegal. Teen I know gets caught with three ecstasy pill in the car he was a passenger in ( not his) and is facing distribution charges and years in prison. We catch one of the biggest banks facilitating the drug trade and they get a slap on the wrist. Count the cartel as part of the 1%.

    The justice department absolutely should prosecute the narco-bankers and their institutions as well. Domestic bank officers / board members would stop the practice if they were held accountable for illegal transactions -- not just with fines but with prison terms. However, our justice department will always look the other way -- these bankers are big time Democratic and Republican contributors.

    Great day for Wachovia.

    They're also about to get slapped with an SEC suit for fraudulent CDO pricing.
