"Our goal is not to cope with the drug problem, but to actively reduce substance abuse in our society," Walters said in an address to the National Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities conference.

[...]

"We have a responsibility - as family members, employers, physicians, educators, religious leaders, neighbors, colleagues and friends - to reach out to help these people," Walters said. "We must find ways to lead them back to drug-free lives."

[MrLeRoy]

"Our goal is [...] to actively reduce substance abuse in our society."

Where's the evidence that this goal is achievable? Alcohol consumption INCREASED during the last several years of Prohibition---and drug use trends show no correlation with Drug War efforts.

"We must find ways to lead them back to drug-free lives."

What about alcohol---which, unlike marijuana, can kill a person in a single evening of use, and is far more addictive than marijuana? Why isn't Walters seeking a war against alcohol?

But were it not for the War on Drugs, Mr. Walters would be unemployed - and unemployable. How dare you deny him a chance to be a contributing member of society?

(Uh, heh heh, heh heh . . . heh heh, heh heh . . . I said "member.")

Throw them in prison. That ought to help. Now remember, it's for your own good.

North Korea or Cuba may have a job for a man of his ... er, "talents."

It takes a village, right Walters?

[Huck]

But were it not for the War on Drugs, Mr. Walters would be unemployed

That cuts both ways. Mr. Walters is employed because there is a war on drugs, and for this we can thank the ongoing support of the American people. What do you expect him to do?

bump to Jedigirl ping list.
she is watching.....

[Wolfie]

No, not prison. Drug Rehab, where they can do all the drugs they want, and the staff doesn't have to cooperate in any investigation.

[vin-one]

(Uh, heh heh, heh heh . . . heh heh, heh heh . . . I said "member.")

you are a bad girl, now come over here for your punishment.(heh, heh, heh,)

[MrLeRoy]

I wish it all was regulated by the FDA.

Why?

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Please God, save me from the people who want to save me from myself.

[MrLeRoy]

The Three Big Lies:

"Of course I'll respect you in the morning."

"The check is in the mail."

"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you."

[vin-one]

you left the big lie out,
I promise I won't ### in your (insert your own word here)

[MrLeRoy]

... won't pee in your sink?

[vin-one]

I think that is won't pee in your pool.....

"We have a responsibility - as family members, employers, physicians, educators, religious leaders, neighbors, colleagues and friends - to reach out to help these people," Walters said. "We must find ways to lead them back to drug-free lives."

It's obvious why Democratic administrations would keep a national nanny like this around, but...what are the Republicans thinking?

[taxed2death]

This guy needs another hit from his bong.


You can lead a horse to water............

Why is it governments responsibility to interfere with the lives of the drug users?

Let them continue with their self destructive behavior and the problem will go away sooner, rather than later.

The government should strive for 100% purity for all hard core drugs hitting the streets, the problem will resolve itself in short order.
