Farfel is correct. This drog war and social destroyer is the worst distraction from real issues that the government was willing to pay tons of money for, just to repress labor. Why else would they spend all of that money hiring do nothing nobodies with new and advanced weapons to spy on Americans and jail them, so others could steal their land at closed and barely disclosed auctions?
It must have been impoartant considering the harm they must have known they would cause, but thought it omportant enough to harm people anyway.
Some people have to make their living off of false boogey-men, so they do, then turn to minimalizing the damage.
Solution: government accountability and jail sentences for those people that have willfully violated constiutional rights of Americans. Mandatory sentences and no immunity for government officials. No need for DNA testing either, because they were bragging about stealing your rights.

The drug war is unimportant? What planet are you from, preppie? The prisons are filled with the innocent, the police have been militarized, and corporate America is fighting the drug war on foreign soils. You, sir, are an ignorant fool.
It all boils down to what Reagan did in 1988, bowing to pressure from the right: "Abolishing the Fairness Doctrine". This allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to come to existence. Ninety two percent (92%) of radio talk show hosts are of the right wing persuasion. Public airwaves belong to the public and the fairness doctrine must be restored. Insist that the presidential candidates promise to restore the fairness doctrine and to bust the 5 media monopolies which control our thought process.

What, someone from The Nation posted that?
What, are you totally ignorant? Go find out from Katherine what a twit you are trying to be cute that "nobody cares about the drug war".
Shame on you.

Dude: the war on drugs wastes $Billions and has put in prison at least 40% of the people there now, imagine how easy to fix the prison system if we stop doing that. Just because you don't know this doesn't mean Gravel is making a mistake to bring it up.
Go smoke a joint in Texas and we'll see you in 50 years. That's the drug war.
