Issues like Iraq and terrorism so overwhelm the limited attention of the media and the public that other critically important matters, such as illegal immigration and the nation's ongoing "War on Drugs," go all but ignored.
For that reason, it's always nice to have periodic reminders of the utter wastefulness, oppressiveness and naked stupidity which continue to fuel the Drug War.
The quote from Senator Jim Talent in the article you linked to is one of the 2 or 3 dumbest quotes I have ever read. He must be clinically retarded. It's downright frigtening when you see how isolated and uninformed so many of these politicians are about things that they pass laws about.
ReplyDeleteFunny how there is so much talk about so many issues, and I think one of the very few issues talked about 100 years from now is how many resources we devoted, and how many civil liberties we abridged, all to prevent adults from putting some drugs into their bodies that they wanted.
