    Drug Czar admits the drug war is a failure.

    Of course. When you are busy fighting victimless crime you have less resources to fight real crime. But by all means let's keep doing what we've been doing even though the government itself admits it's not working. We'll follow Taylor's lead and throw another trillion at it. That should...

    Drug Czar admits the drug war is a failure.

    They could do a far better job fighting actual crime if they stopped trying so hard to fight non-crimes. Apparently the difference between violating the rights of another and not doing so escapes your notice. You must work for the government.

    Drug Czar admits the drug war is a failure.

    Of maybe they know it's our problem and our fault. Further, they don't have the resources to spend billions on a war that can never be won. Sounds like they are far smarter than we are. It appears after they ram their heads against a wall a few times they realize the wall will not come down...

    Drug Czar admits the drug war is a failure.

    Americans are particularly bad at learning the lessons of history. It's always like it never happened! They banned alcohol, made the Mob incredibly powerful, then had to create a huge department to fight the Mob they made so powerful to begin with. It's the same with the War on Drugs. We...

    Drug Czar admits the drug war is a failure.

    They might change the tone, i.e. focus on prevention and education, but they won't end the war. Baby steps. The bottom line is that you will NEVER win the war by locking people up and trying to seize all the drugs. If 40 years hasn't driven that point home what will? How much more evidence...

    If you cannot win the war you only have two choices. Keep fighting and wasting money or leave people alone.

    AP IMPACT: US drug war has met none of its goals - Yahoo! News Of course, many of us have been saying this for decades and already knew it was true, but it's nice to see the world catching up. The line from the article that sums it all up:

    Los Angeles to boycott Arizona over immigration law

    Since when do facts matter to either side? Both sides are totally full of crap most of the time. You likely just gloss over it when it's your side.

    96-0: Fed Audit Passes Senate

    Re: US Will Audit Federal Reserve!!! Please review the first thread on this topic as there is no need to repeat myself. And my definition of "audit" is simply the definition of audit. The Fed is audited and its statements are freakin' public. I even posted the damn audit (well, one of the...

    Los Angeles to boycott Arizona over immigration law

    Although Arizona can't deport anyone, thereby making these people morons (which is why they got into government likely), people are free to boycott anything they wish.

    Home Depot called arrogant, ordered to pay ex-Boca Raton inventor millions more

    Note for the record that Arthur Blank does not run Home Depot or have anything to do with its operations. This is not on him. Just to be accurate. He's Ted Turner, i.e. done with the company he founded.
