7.  I don't believe in the use of violence to solve the so called "drug problem"
Edited on Mon Jul-07-08 10:06 PM by wuushew
Addiction is a bio-chemical response in the human body. Everyday more and more of the human genome is unraveled. Effectively binding those receptors is quite within the realm of science and public policy.

Unfortunately such reasonable approaches are not sexy enough to win elected office. We live in a very bloodthirsty and arrogant country which apparently has no problem with the bottomless money hole which is Plan Colombia.
