| Do you remember how the movie Billy Jack was a protest song of the Vietnam war and how it ended with a long line of torch carrying people singing "All We Are Saying Is Give Peace a Chance?" As far as the thirty year-old War On Drugs -- "ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE GRASS A CHANCE?" End the war and start treatment. This alcoholics in this country need help. How about some treatment facilities for them. Clean up the big problem first and worry about the corners later. [ Post Comment ] |

| "The United States, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has been the world's bully -- and not always an enlightened one -- when it comes to drug policy. We tell -- and often pressure -- other nations to adopt Washington's anti-drug strategy, even though our way is increasingly viewed as a failure, both at home and abroad." How many times has Uncle been called a bully, here? Scores of times. But until fairly recently, most reporters have shied away from calling a spade a spade, preferring instead to refer to one as a government contracted multipurpose manual excavation device. Hey, you panty-waist, plagiarizing media types! How about giving credit where credit is due? You saw it here, first! (LOL!) [ Post Comment ] |

| American politicians better wake up if they want relected! People are growing weary of the lies and propaganda. Outside of money and power the next most important thing to a politician is your vote. Without it? They are back on the street. More and more articles like the one above are printing the truth in mainstream media. Drug Warriors your time is limited. Legalize and End the WAR. Today [ Post Comment ] |
