WAR ON DRUGS SEEMS MORE LIKE A WAR ON AMERICAN VALUES

Re: Students convicted of drug offenses should not get aid

In a recent article, Nicki Croly lent support for federal law which
suspends federal student aid eligibility for any student convicted of
possessing or selling illegal drugs.

Croly made no mention of the fact that murderers and rapists do not
suffer the same fate.

Anyway for most of us it's no longer in contention, our drug policies
have turned out to be a complete flop. Drugs are more affordable than
ever and can be acquired even in our prisons and schools. It's not a
war on drugs. It's a war on our own people and everything we hold
dear, like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Land of the free! ... who are we kidding? This failed policy has
turned us into one of the most incarcerated nations on Earth.

Why in Gods name, decade on decade, do we keep wasting billions of
dollars on this moronathon? Surely most of us by now have had enough
of this farce.
