| the war on drugs is self perpetuating
the propaganda serves to keep the servile population in agreement with rash images of white girls getting gang raped over a couple bowls of refer- or the kid shooting himself with his father's handgun while smoking a bong
education is the key here
we know that federal prison spending has increased by thirty percent while education spending has decreased by eighteen- prison is big money, those that hold the keys get all kinds of government subsidies
and where would the dea agents work if not in the dea? they too would be out of a few jobs if our country laxes it's prohibition
i've never met a pothead that has caused violence under the influence of pot, they usually just want to stay stuck to the couch and wait for the simpsons to come on, and i've never met a pothead that will steal because they need their refer fix. i imagine there are a few out there, but that's not a symptom of pot use by far
it's going to take a lot of folks being challenged on their ideas of what is right and wrong when it comes to drugs for these things to change, maybe if more communities go broke then more people will consider dismantling the programs that support the drug war and the ideas behind the drug war- get 'em where they live, the pocketbook, then mebbe they'll listen |
