EH - 65 : The Drug War

The drug war is misdirected. It is foolish. It is stupid, unworkable, disastrous, tragic and sad. But beyond all that it is evil.
The drug war is grounded in an evil premise: that people do not own their bodies, that they have no right to control what they do with their own lives and their own property, that it is appropriate to lock them in cages if they produce, distribute or consume chemicals in defiance of the state."

Anthony Gregory resonates on this attack on the attack on freedom. If the fedgov wants to have a drug war, they first need to test their own, rather than imposing that cost on business and then giving their employees free reign to abuse without recouse under the guise of collective bargaining and personal freedom. Pardon me, but government employees work for we the people not the other way around. If you pee in a cup, insist they pee in a cup!
