You know, I was kinda rooting for Tony Mokbell. Not really, but? There was a part of me that wanted him to get away with it. It's just supply and demand, what he was into, pretty much. There is the murder, of course, bit of a sticking point, granted. But in a sense, it's an industry that is criminalised by it's very illegality, more often than not, for political purposes. You need a boogey man to be a good politician. It's the prohibition that brings the violence, not the drugs. If it wasn't illegal, Tony Mokbel would probably still be worth 50 million, or whatever and respected.
Isn't the perfect economic model, completely free market forces? Aren't they the forces of the conservative argument?
You know, that is if I cared about Tony Mokbell at all, which I really don't. I just think it's interesting. You could argue that the people Big Tony was responsible for the demise of, were all players, all up to their necks in it. They probably all got what they deserved, which is probably what most of frightened, middle, Australia thinks anyway.
How many innocents have been destroyed by perfectly respectable tycoons?
