From the drug dealer's perspective legalization is the greatest threat to their industry. It would be tantamount to destroying the underground trade that fuels it. The commerce generated by the drug trade fuels the counter drug trade, the above ground pharmacological drug trade, as well as that law industry, which is an industry that fuels surveillance technology as well as creating numerous government and tax payer funded jobs which only act (like all of us) to ensure their own survival.
From the perspective of both players, the only way to win the game, is to keep the ball in play.
Computer poetry is warfare carried out by other means, a warfare against conventionality and language that has become automatized. Strange as it seems, our finite state automata have become the poet’s allies in this struggle, the long historical battle by which mankind pries into the surface of language to reveal its latent mysteries… R.W. Bailey, Computer Poems (1973)
