Imagining that our drug woes will go away if we simply ignore drug abuse is a foolish as believing that terrorism won't hurt us if we simply leave them alone.
Just as with the War on Terrorism, that's not to say that there aren't ways to improve the effort; but "surrender is not a strategy [unless your a pompous windbag named James Baker]" is just as apt regarding the WOD.
Most of our drug woes are the result of the WOD.
The WOD is about the payroll for those collecting it. Stop the gravy train, and we could only imaging the squealing that would come from those riding the train. They would all whine "It's for the children!" No it's about those on the train.
