We already have the same defeat as Scotland. The only difference is we won't admit it. Refusing to acknowledge reality for ideological reasons is one of man's greatest weaknesses.

The unquestioning support of the WOD is eerily similar to the behavior we see in religious cults. No amount of logic or reasoning seems to be able to penetrate the minds of those who support the WOD. They just won't let it go, regardless of the plain evidence of it's failure right in front of their eyes.

And then, of course, when you add in the moneyed interests of the WOD industrial complex, it's not difficult to see why the WOD will probably drag on and on.

True enough.

And if there's anything more dangerous than a religious cult, it's a religious cult with the power to make its rules law.

That the state has drunk the Kool-Aid makes the WOD farce a tragedy.

That's because the WOD is a religious crusade. Drug addicts in America are being scapegoated exactly the same as Jews were in Germany.
