Lame. The problem is your inane tinfoil pessimism that we can't do anything about the drug war ... when states around the country are passing referenda that chip away at federal drug policy. My point is, things ARE changing, you just don't care to see that...
I didn't say we couldn't do anything about it. I, also, believe that things are changing, but it's not just about drug prohibition. It's about the recognition that the politicians and bureaucrats are part of a scam that takes much, but targets what they return to their own benefit. The social spenders buy votes from the so-called "poor" and the social authoritarians scare up votes by raising spectres of chaos, but they are both after the same thing, power and money.
The only ideology that will produce postitive results for the nation as a whole, rather than for the targeted few, is truth and honesty. That is wholly absent from our political and governmental system.
