and all this to prevent what? Drugs? Man, I got a lot of problems in my life I need the government to solve, but drugs aint one of them. I know what it takes to solve the drug problem and it is a real bitch, and I wouldn't wish solving it on my government (or my worst enemy for that matter.)

It's always someone else's fault. The one thing that we are now failing to teach children and young adults is that there are consequences for all the decisions you're going to make. Fuck up, there's a price. Is it fair? Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. That ain't the point. Life ain't fair and it isn't easy. Where did you get the idea that it would be? Oh yeah, from the government, the very same people that have now locked your ass up. There's a lesson here boys and girls.
and they don't learn that from video games? True, losing a video game doesn't screw up the rest of your like like going to jail does, but it does teach you that most people just play games to win. And there are consequences if you win, but losing is no big deal. Perhaps video games are not your thing.
It shows.
All our leaders are bent on taking away freedoms. They criminalize drugs and take away our freedom to buy what we need or want. They have their War on Drugs and jail people for what should have been fine in the first place. They confiscate property from people that aren't convicted, aren't even charged quite often and block efforts to get it back. We have to stop voting for this two party trash and just go after getting our freedoms back.
yes, if we all just voted for the Peace and Freedom party they would do the right things and tell us how to live.
Report: Aide says Nixon's war on drugs targeted blacks, hippies
"Washington (CNN)One of Richard Nixon's top advisers and a key figure in the Watergate scandal said the war on drugs was created as a political tool to fight blacks and hippies, according to a 22-year-old interview recently published in Harper's Magazine.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.
"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."..."
