Plain common-sense-talking Jesse Ventura

Jesse has been tearing up the cable networks promoting his book, but mostly demolishing some torture-apologist pundits. He takes a break from torture to speak plainly about the stupidity of our war on drugs with Geraldo.

When you prohibit something, it doesn’t mean it’s going away. It just means it’s going to be run by criminals now, because it’s not above board. The criminals eventually become so wealthy, they become more powerful than the government, which is a great deal of what’s happening in Mexico right now.

Hey, I certainly don’t agree with everything Jesse says al the time, but I gotta admire the man for his ability and willingness to cut through the B.S.
