Reply #7: oh, but in answer to your question - 65% of Americans think the WoD is a failure

[RainDog]

that includes all political demographics, based upon a poll in July of last year.

I have no doubt that more people think the WoD is a failure after the information released around the anniversary of this failure this year.

People also think America has a drug problem - but, of course, that's because of the incredible about of propaganda that spews from those who make money by creating this view.

Portugal has shown a better way - but too many Americans are too conservative, no matter if they call themselves liberal or not, to consider policy that doesn't try to hurt people but, instead, tries to provide meaningful interdiction.

Interesting, the current "drug czar" also admits the war on drugs is a failure - and yet - proposes to continue the same failed policies. Reminds me of living through 30 years of Reaganomics and the failed economic policies of the right and seeing them continually touted in spite of their failures.

which makes me think I must live in the stupidest fucking nation in the western world.
