The man who sees and accepts the reality of a decades long drug war that has led to financing our enemies in Iran, Afghanistan and elsewhere, corruption in our criminal justice system, narco terrorism and a virtual narco state on our southern border, all with no end in sight, no hope of winning this war, with billions and billions lost and innumerable lives ruined and with hundreds of thousands of wretched deaths.
Citing the real human tragedy of a misbegotten war on drugs is not to be negative but to be realistic. If one does not realistically understand the problem, if one lives in a dream world, the problem will never be solved. Churchill said in , The Gathering Storm, "facts are better than dreams". You want us to dream on while we live in nightmare.
Who of us is negative? The man who offers no solution, indeed, nothing positive despite being invited to do so several times to disguise the inevitable gaping vacuity in any man who resorts to personal insult time and again. The man who defines realism to be "negativity."
The man who lives in a dream world instead of in the world of facts.
I am content to let the reader judge this record as presented here.
