This is a must read! Hilarious but soooo true.
The Blog John Fugelsang: Taking the "Drug War"... Seriously The Huffington Post:
"The drug war violates civil liberties, privacy rights, rights against search and seizure. It's led to out of control crime, corrupted law enforcement & business officials, and shown that the wealthy can get away with what the poor cannot - in short, it makes a mockery of any claim to be a free country.
The war on drugs is a war on Americans. It's not even about race anymore , but class - and the only color that matters is lack of green.
But we can't stop? You know why? We as a nation, a people, a tribe, are hooked.
Like Caffeine, Oxycontin, fructose or Vicodin - we are addicted to the drug war.
We know it doesn't work - we can't stop.
We know it's too expensive and we can't afford it - we can't stop.
We know there are a million people in prison and every year we pay 40 grand apiece to keep them in jail; when they could be out working, paying taxes and contributing to the economy - but we cannot stop.
There are two types of people who keep repeating the same behaviors over and over, always expecting different outcome. Addicts, and crazy people."
