According to a survey conducted by the "Angeles Times", a third of all americans are in favour of the legalization of drugs, because it is "the only way to control the crisis caused by the use of drugs" and the destructive effect that they have on people. Young people are the ones that more strongly advocate legalization.

On the other hand, these same americans state that they are very satisfied with their lives and their jobs, though they are slightly less satisfied of the economic perspectives of their country.

This survey has been conducted on a sample of 2,095 americans, interviewed between the 16th and the 20th of december. The margin of error only amounts to three points more or three points less.

LITTLE COMMENTARY: Since how long have we been struggling seriously for prohibitionism? About 2 or 3 years, if I'm not mistaken. Let's reckon it out: if in 3 year's time one third of the interviewed people have been convinced, there follows that in 9 year's time...Fortunately, since mathematical rules don't apply to social matters, it will occur in a lot less time!...

(I now realize that, in slighty less than a month's time, this is the second or third information that I've transmitted on similar survey results...)
