So the DEA or whatever had to find a new "cause" to keep all those people employed . . .
Enter the war on "drugs" - at that time was marijuana
USA has declared "war" on a lot of things, and none have succeeded.
Why is that?
It's sorta simple.
Declare a war on poverty and homelessness
Park the goddamm war-machine and start REALLY helping people.
Just imagine what could be done to help the starving and homeless with the Billions spent on bombs and bullets.
Imagine that, USA actually contributing to better other nation's lives.
Bombs are better than food I guess,
. . . (sigh) . . .
