They are not even able to get rid of drugs in prison...but somehow they are going to get rid of drugs in all of society!!! If all government resources were used to fight drug use. We would still have drug use. The prisons proove it. All the drug dealers need to do is find out who in the government is bribeable...just like the prisoners do with the prison guards. Then everyone knows how to get them in. You could build a wall 1000 feet high and a 1000 feet deep along the mexican border and it wouldn't matter. The drug cartel has deep pockets...the lowly paid government workers who are supposed to make sure no drugs get through are not going to be tempted? yea right. <BR/><BR/>War on Terrorism is a war against a tactic the weak use against the strong. Let's see we are going to make sure this tactic is never going to be used how? By bombing the hell out of Muslim countries and making them even weaker and showing them we are too strong to challenge militarily? Ummmmm....yeah.

Apparently, those potentially sinister customers who attempt to purchase more than one bottle of cough medicine or pseudoephedrine may have only one thing in mind - force feeding young children the substances in school parking lots or "cooking" them into harder drugs intended for highly profitable sales to "our" youth.

The US gov't will have to make a choice between fighting a war on terror or a war on drugs. They can't effectively fight both and have any chance of being successful.<BR/><BR/>Decriminalization of drugs will allow law enforcement to deal with the real threat of terrorism and real crime. In the war on some drugs, the smugglers can give up a small shipment as a decoy to allow drugs to pass in another fashion.<BR/><BR/>If the US keeps trying to fight both wars, I believe the terrorists will use a drug shipment as a decoy and, while the ICE and DEA boys are all celebrating, send in something really nasty.<BR/><BR/>The other problem with the war on some drugs, is it's unintended consequences. It keeps the prices of illegal drugs inflated to a market clearing level which allows obscene profits. Cutting off the funding by decriminalization would make the terrorists work harder for their sustenance.<BR/><BR/>Great post!negatorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-43046553971560342082007-10-10T19:10:00.000-06:002007-10-10T19:10:00.000-06:00Will,<BR/><BR/><I>The only way it could have been more obvious that he was a police officer would have been for him to Taze somebody unnecessarily while nibbling on a crueller.</I><BR/><BR/>I almost started laughing uproariously when I read that until I remembered that you're actually describing the current state of reality, and not some exaggerated version thereof for a quick laugh.<BR/><BR/>It seems many people in this country don't get what the "big deal" is about police abuse, while many more steadfastly support goose-stepping. Several recent examples of this come to mind--<BR/><BR/>1. The comments on <A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=10VKwULQbb8" REL="nofollow">this video of a 15-year-old girl being arrested and pepper-sprayed</A> are mostly disturbing. Comments range from the ridiculous "Go cop!" to the even more ridiculous murmuring about "She deserved it because she won't respect the curfew LAW" with few questioning the necessity/actual legality of such laws from the standpoint of natural justice. Regardless of the girl's criminal culpability, few of the pro-police abuse commenters seem to notice that she is, in fact, a 15-year-old girl, and the force being used against her is excessive.<BR/><BR/>2. The internet craze surrounding the "Don't tase me, bro!" kid from Florida. The thing that apparently struck many people as most meaningful from that incident wasn't the fact that it took 8 cops (or whatever) to bring this kid down, along with a few tasers, all for talking on a microphone, but that he so COMEDICALLY SCREAMED that now famous line, "Don't tase me, bro!" I was watching a video from Wallstrip.com today about stocks which made a reference to some company's decision as being "The only thing more annoying than watching the 'Don't tase me, bro!' kid over and over" So that's it? It's funny... it's annoying... but it doesn't seem to be WRONG.<BR/><BR/>I hope you gave that cop an earful, Will. And I hope you paid for one of the medicines and then walked back around behind the register and got back in line and proceeded to buy the other medicine.TAYLORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18270678440957992085noreply@blogger.com
