Sneak-and Peek

There's an interesting chart in New York Magazine that shows what the Patriot Act is used for.
Delayed-notice search warrants issued under the expanded powers of the Patriot Act, 2006–2009:

For drugs: 1,618
For fraud: 122
For Terrorism: 15

Well gollallallee Gomer! Whoda thunk?! ;-)

Thanks for pointing this out! I’ll try to reference it.

How about this headline?

Real Patriots Grow Hemp!

Too bad we don’t have any microfiche from the 1700’s! :-)

All I can think of is the sign I’ve seen photographed on Senator Ron Paul’s desk, “Don’t steal. The government doesn’t like competition.” Or it says something to that effect.

In other words I am convinced there are high level politicians or appointees or whatnot who are lock, stock, and barrel, pwned by the DTO’s.

I also happen to be convinced there are high level medical people who are “In-the-Closet” addicts who can’t admit it to others, but live in the netherworld that maintaining prohibition will somehow save them or prevent others from becoming addicts like them. So because of their pain of feeling addicted, they force the whole world to live under this horrible condition of prohibition.
