That's OUR tax $$$, folks. Is it really that worth it to all you drug warriors?
Well, it's not worth it to me. Was just having this discussion with someone the other day who told me that I sounded more like a libertarian than a conservative. I simply asked him to observe the amount of money we are throwing at the WOD and just what it has accomplished.
I worked for federal law enforcement when the first Drug Czar was appointed. I have not observed that the amount of drugs imported to this country has beem stemmed in the least, while statistics indicate that more and more kids are involved with some type of drug.
Our prison system is overburdened with non-violent, pot-smoking "criminals" while the big time dealers never find their way to prison. In the meantime, child molesters are given suspended sentences and walk free. I cannot begin to grasp the logic of our criminal justice system.
Having worked in the system I could make some observations, but I would be here all day.
