Hey, the article clearly states that the dope dealer was a FIRE Captain, NOT a cop. I wish people would quit blaming the cops for everything!

There are bad seeds everywhere.

The Atlanta area is a major hub now for dope from Mexico. It is a major distribution point, including Fayette County. Fayette is even the LARGEST grower of Mary Jane in the southeast! Remember the 30 or so houses they raided lately?
In general the feds catch about 3-4 percent of the dopers, Fayette County maybe catches 1% if somebody tells them the address.
We need to decide if catxching a small amount of them is worth the effort or just make the stuff legal and tax it in grocery stores.
Or, spend billions more and catch maybe 4-5%.
Reminds me of prohibition in the 20s, it generated more cheap liquor by bootleggers.

Okay, so now you are saying that Fayette County leads the entire southeast US in pot growing. Wow. And you know this obscure unproven trivia to be factually correct. Wow.

To top all that off, you proclaim that Feds catch only 3-4% of dopers and Fayette County catches a miniscule 1%. Wow. You have amazing insight.

And you also want to put it in grocery stores. Next to the carrots and lettuce I suppose? You sound like you already have plenty at your house - so why would you?

If you can't take enough of your valuable time to check any statistics, just criticize everyone else's, at least use your common sense of deduction.
If one adds up the dope convictions for a year and comes up with a number; then compares that to the quantity of dope coming into any given area (millions of pounds as opposed to finding thousands of pounds), it is not difficult to deduce that very few are being caught...at least not until they have been at it for years.
It is like speeding: even less than 1% of speeders are caught. Did you know that?
It is also like people like you who know squat, and don't really want to.

Gee, you are telling me that Mean median, Mode and Standard Deviation were all a bunch of crap I guess. Sum, Sigma and the two tail test for validity was all for not. Survey and imperical data are all a waste of time? I should have just had you valadate the research on my Master's Thesis.

I could have just pulled the stats out of my butt like you do 98.56872% of the time. Wow.

You will never get a doctorate! Maybe at Phoenix University.
Statistics can be made to say whatever one wants them to say. I am familiar with those terms you threw out, except for the two tail test. I expect that is an odd deviation to a bell curve, but I'm not sure. Similar to a one tsil test, maybe.
One can drown in water that averages 1/16 th of an inch!
Bush can look at statistics garnered as you subscribe and say the public wants him to bomb again. He simply discounts ignorant democrats.

He keeps the stats in his head and we know where he keeps his head.

I yam what I yam...Popeye

I knew I liked you. I was a popeye lover growing up. I'll gladly pay you Wednesday for a burger today- Ha! Only problem was - 71% of all red blooded American men couldn't understand why popeye liked Olive Oil....she whinned too much and had the figure of a stick man. Anyway, 99.9687% of all bloggers think $aday is mentally and morally bankrupt.

Primos Eos squid

We have a lot of Wimps around now, don't we? My great grandkids will never pay our debt that Reagan and Bush have made. Guess we are in for devaluing the dollar someday and dumping our bond buyers.
Some won't remember that Wimpy ate the hamburgers that could be paid for later.

It's been soooo many years since I've been called a squid. This is one squid that figures ole dollar had to be a draftee and the worst serviceman that ever put on a uniform.

I yam what I yam...Popeye

Nope, I joined for Korean war for Ike and Harry. Not for McArthur however, he was a nut by then like Marlon Brando in Viet Nam movie.

If he was a nut then I would have thought ya'll would have gotten along fine.

I yam what I yam...Popeye

What was I thinking? I must have been on my "happy" pills earlier.
