WAR ON DRUGS IS JUST ONE BIG GRAVY TRAIN

A July 17 letter on the war on drugs was outstanding. The War on
Drugs, Inc. is actually history's biggest gravy train and boondoggle.
With 2.1 million American citizens currently behind bars, there is
some serious money on the table.

It is no coincidence that the prison industry and police unions are
the most fervent cheerleaders for the War on Drugs, Inc. They know
that if the citizens of this country ever wake up to the scam, their
free lunch will be over. Drug abuse is more properly considered a
public health issue than a law enforcement issue.

The only success in the War on Drugs, Inc. and Prohibition II has
been to guarantee lifetime employment to those doing the prohibiting.
