And here is the reason: each one acknowledges that he himself doesn't know how to do all the things incident to mail delivery. He also recognizes that no other individual could do it. These assumptions are correct. No individual possesses enough know-how to perform a nation's mail delivery any more than any individual possesses enough know-how to make a pencil. Now, in the absence of faith in free people — in the unawareness that millions of tiny know-hows would naturally and miraculously form and cooperate to satisfy this necessity — the individual cannot help but reach the erroneous conclusion that mail can be delivered only by governmental "masterminding.

On this episode of The Vin Armani Show, we have a conversation with Raeford Davis, a former law enforcement officer who advocates for an end to the war on drugs. Raeford Davis served the City of North Charleston police department for six years, including four years as a patrol officer and two as a special victims unit detective. At the time, North Charleston was ranked the 8th most dangerous city in America. Before becoming a police officer, he served in the United States Coast Guard Resen/es. He graduated from Charleston Southern University with a BS. in Criminal Justice. Officer Raeford believe the underground market created by drug prohibition has led to a number of negative unforeseen consequences. This most apparent to him when he was patrolling a notorious hotbed of illicit activity nick-named “4-way’. There he saw kids being recruited by older gang members to sell drugs, knowing full well what kind of danger that put them in. Officer Raeford understood that so long as a demand for drugs persisted. there would be a supply. 80 long as that supply remains illegal, children will continue to be put in harms way Today, Raeford lives in Charleston. He retired in 2007, after being injured in the line of duty.
