I'm mildly amazed by it.
Just about everywhere else, our society is simply terrified of offending anyone. We graduate illiterate kids cause failing them would be bad for their self esteem. Bastard children run amok, we pretend single moms are heroes. Can't check IDs before an election, that's intimidating to minorities. Can't profile terrorists at airports, that's racist. Can't check for citizenship, that's racist too. Can't criticize the behavior that causes AIDS, homophobic. Judgement and discrimination seem to be the biggest sins there are.
Except for drugs. One crumb of chemical that someone might use recreationally and thugs with guns will judge and discriminate you into a cage surrounded by razor wire forever.
We're nuts.
agreed....time to get out of the quagmire that is the war on drugs....
