Revolution
I fear it is already too late.
The computer has given government insatiable power.
"The propaganda that caused people to
believe that Germans were a master race
and Jews were an inferior race and needed
to be exterminated has an exact parallel
in the war on marijuana.
You create false evils, create fear and
hatred for a certain class of people and
proceed to inflict horrific punishment on the
targets of your lies. All the while seizing
totalitarian power for yourself and your
cronies based on the need for people
to abandon their normal concepts of right
and wrong and leave those decisions entirely
to the propagandists."
A Drug Revolution
"Every friend of freedom must be as revolted as I am by the prospect of turning the United States into an armed camp, by the vision of jails filled with casual drug users and of an army of enforcers empowered to invade the liberty of citizens on slight evidence."
– Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist
I know it repulses me, but I wonder if peoples' fear of retaliation, and harassment will keep them from fighting to end the Drug War.
I wonder, too, if the government's outrageous gathering of power under Bush, will be too much to overcome.
Unfortunately, the people in power are the ones who decide what acts will be prohibited and they have decided that they should inprison countless thousands for using marijuana; that they should be permitted to stop, detain, search and even kill with no liability...all in the name of the War on Drugs.
