That's a great line!PCMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597569938038396009.post-77120310928410227292008-07-12T22:01:00.000-04:002008-07-12T22:01:00.000-04:002008-07-12T22:01:00.000-04:00Sounds like we agree on the drug war. Honest drug ...Sounds like we agree on the drug war. Honest drug education for all, regulating drugs instead of prohibiting them and medical treatment for those with real addictions are much more effective.<BR/><BR/>It's time to remove all the politicians that promote prohibition. How many more lives have to be needlessly devastated or lost? Prohibited drugs are way easier for kids to get than regulated drugs! Prohibition never works it just causes crime and violence. The year US alcohol prohibition was repealed violent crime fell by 65 percent.<BR/><BR/>Guns have absolutely nothing to do with using drugs, they have to do with drug prohibition. Al Capone didn’t kill people because he was drunk, he killed people because they got between him and his illegal drug money. The drug gangsters of today do the same! <BR/><BR/>Even the World Health Organization has documented the Failure of U.S. Drug Policies, read the article here, join the mailing list, watch the videos:<BR/>Internet Explorer: http://jsknow.angelfire.com/home <BR/>Other Browsers: http://jsknow.angelfire.com/index.html<BR/><BR/>The USA spends $69 billion a year on the drug war, builds 900 new prison beds and hires 150 more correction officers every two weeks, arrests someone on a drug charge every 17 seconds, jails more people than any nation and has killed over 100,000 citizens in the drug war.<BR/><BR/>The right; to freedom of religion, free speech, a free press, to keep and bear arms, to be secure in your person, house, papers and effects against unreasonable search and seizure, to life, liberty and property, to be protected from having your property taken by the government without due process of law and without just compensation, to confront the witnesses against you, to be protected from excessive bail, excessive fines, cruel and unusual punishment, to vote and many others have been denied to millions of Americans in the name of the drug war. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see the truth about drugs getting around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
