Unintended Consequences

The law of unintended consequences is back in the local news. It seems the "Drug Free School Zones" laws are putting too many minorities behind bars. Hmmm - never saw that coming. I never thought the stepped up enforcement made much sense - do adult drug dealers actually approach school yards and market their wares all that often? I'm guessing young'uns doing drugs are getting them from their most entrepreneurial peers, who in turn, are generally smart enough to contact their wholesalers off campus.
