Looks like a fifty-fifty split on Repubs and Dims voting to ramp up the WOsD. Just like those famous Drug Warriors Mao and Ho Chi Minh. Stalin was big on waging a Drug War as well.

You seem to be in excellent company for one of your beliefs. How can you stand having so many mentors to choose from? I've only got people like Locke and Jefferson to look up to. Oh, and Washington. Franklin. A few others you've probably never heard of. Or did you think they were kooks as well?

You forgot Cheech and Chong, IMHO.

I've only got people like Locke and Jefferson to look up to.

"Whosoever, therefore, out of a state of Nature unite into a community, must be understood to give up all the power necessary to the ends for which they unite into society to the majority of the community, unless they expressly agreed in any number greater than the majority. And this is done by barely agreeing to unite into one political society, which is all the compact that is, or needs be, between the individuals that enter into or make up a commonwealth. And thus, that which begins and actually constitutes any political society is nothing but the consent of any number of freemen capable of majority, to unite and incorporate into such a society. And this is that, and that only, which did or could give beginning to any lawful government in the world." -- John Locke

"Every society has a right to fix the fundamental principles of its association, and to say to all individuals, that if they contemplate pursuits beyond the limits of these principles and involving dangers which the society chooses to avoid, they must go somewhere else for their exercise; that we want no citizens, and still less ephemeral and pseudo-citizens, on such terms. We may exclude them from our territory, as we do persons infected with disease." -- Thomas Jefferson
