Guess my sarcasm wasn't that obvious.
Yes, I know all about Ronald Reagan and his tough stance on illegal drugs. Intervention and incarceration works well indeed. Nancy's "just say no" effort for children and teenagers worked well too. For the most part, America's National Drug Control Policy has been a success. And it was Nixon who created the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The term "war on drugs" is only used by the pro-drug legalization contingent of libertarians and lost souls.

My bad. Libertarians tend to make the same points that sane people intend as preposterous sarcasm. You understand my difficulty, right?

For the most part, America's National Drug Control Policy has been a success.I guess it depends on how you define "success". If you define it as "failure", you'd be closer to the truth.

A success?? Wow, I didn't know success was defined as "complete and total failure". I guess I was wrong about the Ravens this year, they weren't embarassingly inept and the worst team I've ever seen - they were "successful".
I feel MUCH better now.
