The myth of "the pusher". It's always been a myth.
The drug war is being pushed by social so-called conservatives here because they take no responsibility over their own children.
I despise big government in any form and I have as little love for social so-called conservative big government as I do for Johnson/Carter/Clinton/Obama big government.
I'm libertarian leaning, but I learned from living in Mindanao that government is a necessary evil. Someone has to build basic infrastructure.
I have started a number of businesses (some have even succeeded, which provides a little affluence), successfully represented myself in three civil suits in US Fedrool Court, and currently run a private charitable foundation. It is my goal to "starve the pig". My profits go to a family trust and the foundation (which builds schools and medical facilities in West Africa). I get $956 a month from Social Security. I live on it, plus savings. I pay little in taxes. I'd rather not pay any! I know how to spend money quite well...
