WAR ON DRUGS IS TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS

It's time for another big thank-you to the lifestyle police. Apparently, the
National Guard helicopter that clipped the power line responsible for
starting the Julian fire was under contract to the DEA at the time of the
incident. One can surmise that they were wasting tax dollars in the eternal
hunt for marijuana plants ready for harvesting and wanted to get down low
for a better look. Either that or they spotted someone nude sunbathing in
what that person falsely imagined to be the privacy of their own back yard.

Whichever, the federal politicians who continue to cater to the 30 percent
of the population who believe anything fun is a sin or a crime should be
held criminally responsible for their acts when they wipe out entire towns
and destroy the lives of their residents. If the entire Congress was forced
to spend a year in prison maybe they would understand that the war on drugs
is nothing less than terrorism against American citizens.

While it's true that hysterical conservatives are the driving force behind
such antiquated laws, alleged moderates and liberals who don't have the
spine to call them out and fix it are really more culpable than those who
simply don't know any better.
