"Yep, this so called drug war has been the greatest corrupter of the police in US history."


Second that. In addition the WOD is funding/building the richest criminal empire in history.

Jeez, you'd think someone in Washington would remember Al Capone, Prohibition, and all that stuff.

It didn't work the first time. Why is it going to be any better the second time?

Like all statist policies, it does not matter it they work or not. As long as they reliably lead to more government power and larger government budgets, they are supported by big government types and people they can fool by saying its for the children etc.

Prohibition worked very well the first time around, and it's even more profitable now.

Memories are excellent in Washington.
