The hypocrisy of Dubya badmouthing drug-use. Seriously.

You want a "cost centre" - how about $8 billion spent on the drug-fighting industry.

Fighting the *lies I guess.

not voting cuz they had to include Joe Rogan.... WTF?!?!? Seriously... WTF??!?1

It's your vote, but personally I couldn't care less who says it as long as they are right. We've been too caught up in personality issues as a people and that somehow prevents us from giving credit or even accepting support when due.

Take Milton Friedman for example. I oppose almost everything he stands for in terms of disaster capitalism and shock treatment, everything about it strikes me as wrong. But back in the 70's when the drug war in its current form was born he spoke against it and did so on a semi regular basis until his death. He's been damned helpful in that respect, getting through to people that it's not a partisan issue but one of right and wrong, does it work or not. I don't have to like a thing about him for him to be helpful there.

Some look at issues and decide for themselves but too many people ignore Global Warming because they don't like Gore, or supported the war because they did like Bush, or whatever else. Personally I don't care who said it, I just care just if they are right. So Joe is in the vid. But is he right? He does have an audience to reach too, even if it isn't us.

Their mission statement:

Founded on March 16, 2002, LEAP is made up of current and former members of law enforcement who believe the existing drug policies have failed in their intended goals of addressing the problems of crime, drug abuse, addiction, juvenile drug use, stopping the flow of illegal drugs into this country and the internal sale and use of illegal drugs. By fighting a war on drugs the government has increased the problems of society and made them far worse. A system of regulation rather than prohibition is a less harmful, more ethical and a more effective public policy.
