WE ARE NOT A FREE SOCIETY

The most-incarcerated nation in the history of human civilization has
no right to call itself a "free society." Re: Sheldon Richman's
outstanding commentary, "End the Other War Too" ( 12-01-06 ): I
totally agree with Richman that "In a free society adults have the
right to ingest whatever they want."

However, we are not a "free society." We are a dictatorship
masquerading as a "free society." The most-incarcerated nation in the
history of human civilization has no right to call itself a "free society."

A nation where the cops can and do kick in the doors in the middle of
the night of those they suspect of using or selling the wrong (
politically selected ) natural herbs or other recreational drugs is
not a "free society."

Perhaps we should tear down the so-called Statue of Liberty or else
re-name it the: Statue of Hypocrisy.
