WAR ON DRUGS: WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

Regarding your editorial "Sick and tired at the Olympics," zero tolerance
rules are just another example of the lack of critical thinking skills that
the "war on drugs" has fostered in this country. Common sense was the first
casualty in the war, our constitutional liberties will be the next.

The prohibitionist anti-drug zealots are so desperate to "win" the drug war,
which is a complete failure, that they won't be satisfied until every
citizen submits a urine sample, the police are free to search every house
and car, and the country is turned into something resembling a prison.

Welcome to the utopia of a "drug-free America."
