Not everyone will agree with me on this one. But what the heck. I haven't been cussed out in several days anyway. :-)

I lived over thirty years in and around NYC and I never once witnessed a “War on Drugs”.

If there was a war, I think I would have seen a glimpse of it at least once.

Let the states decide.

I dare say that more lives are destroyed every year by the War on Drugs than could ever be destroyed by the drugs themselves.

Seems like a close call, to me. Not to disparage the idea. I think drug use and drug addiction present a real paradox to liberal society. What are you going to do with these people? Help them? Kill them? Of course the former. But that's no answer.

We are spending almost $40 Billion dollars on the WoDs this year.

The “War on Poverty” has been a colossal failure, but we do have the fattest ‘poor’ people on the planet. All we have done is subsidize the lifestyle.

Clearly what we are experiencing with this administration is the "War on the Private Sector".

Employers have been declared as the enemy.

Investment is under seige.

Entrepreneurship institutionally maligned.

Real estate market meddled into oblivion.

The word "rich" has been turned into an epithet.

Inefficient union labor incentivized.

Energy production stymied at every turn.

Government resources squandered in the name of "targeted" and "focussed" measures when the economy is screaming for broad-based, systemic relief from burdensome taxes and regulations.

Isn't this a war in every sense of the word?

I have always been in favor of the War on (some) Drugs, but, since the 1990’s or so, more and more, I am thinking that the WoD more of a threat to Life, Liberty, and Property than the druggies are.
Of course, the Mexican Cartels are a pretty good counter argument to that...
So I keep sliding back and forth...
