The "war on drugs". When will we declare victory...

[terrya]

and decriminalize everything?

How many wars can this country fight at the same time?

1. Victory isn't the goal

the goal is perpetual war

We can fight many wars at the same time when they aren't designed to end.

Currently fighting:

War on Drugs
War on Gays
War on Education
War on Voting Rights
War on Civil Rights
War on Dissent
War on Islam
War on the Environment

3. When the entire population is criminalized

the bastard power elite wins. Then they will REALLY start fucking with us.


Time for The People to declare war on the power elite.

4. Never silly

Do you know how many people would be out of a job? and how much revenue would be lost by company's like GE?
We must be in a state of permanent war to prop up the economy.

2. Nice thought!

It'll never happen.... unfortunately.

5. 31 years after Nixon declared

his War on Drugs, heroin is purer, cheaper and more plentiful than ever before.
Same with cocaine.
That's what the ruling class considers a victory.
Why? Because it decimates the 4th Amendment and fills prisons with (non-ruling class) addicts. Rush Limbaugh and Mrs. McCain are, of course, exempt.
