I wonder if our "leaders" would be a little more in touch with reality if the Alcohol and Tobacco Lobby weren't filling pockets in Washington. Oh what am I saying. http://www.commoncause.org/publications/booze4.htm http://www.cspinet.org/booze/bzn_0898/massing.htm
if anything, and regulate the hell out of it. It's ridiculous that we have small-time pot heads in prison for life and violent cons are being paroled and committing more crimes because prisons are too crowded. But legalize crack? Crystal meth? Heroin? Insanity.
stop electing religious fanatics like ashcroft and we will have to fork over fewer $$$ to fight victimless crimes... oh yeah and it all starts with our fearless born-again right wing "wonder boy" crusader, who put that nutjob ashcroft there in the first place...i mean, ashcroft lost a senate election to a dead guy, OK?? a dipshit like that has no business deciding who gets prosecuted and who doesn't... just LOOK at ashcroft -- he LOOKS crazy. he looks like he just broke out of a mental institution (which is where he belongs anyway) just my left-wing fanatic .02 PS - ashcroft was actually gearing up to attack the porn industry (with YOUR tax dollars), but then 9/11 happened and he had to do something more worthwhile than enforcing his own religious agenda...
