"Instead of re-instating "Reefer Madness", turn that hyper-critical gaze to our borders."
No, it's much better to spend huge amounts of time and resources trying to make sure people don't 'ruin their lives'. Problems like illegal immigration and terrorism are just sideshow distractions to the real problem: People getting a buzz and NOT doing it with booze!
Don't you understand? This is all part of Bush's brilliant scheme. Let the cops become self-supporting through enhanced seizure and forfeiture laws. When there's a profit in law enforcement, they'll hire more people, causing unemployment to go down. Arresting more people also keeps unemployment down, since convicts aren't counted and guards have to be hired. Then, when everyone is either a cop, a guard, or a convict, and all wealth is in the hands of the police, terrorists won't stand a chance. If nothing else, a cop is bound to stumble over them, maybe catching them talking on a cell phone in the movie, or eating a candy bar on the DC metro. It's brilliant, I tell you!
