A United Nations investigator probing discrimination against Native Americans has called on the US government to return some of the land stolen from Indian tribes as a step toward combatting continuing and systemic racial discrimination.

And some actually WANT to legalize drugs....

Well, to be honest the reason I’m against the current drug laws is that they are illegitimate: the 18th amendment proves that to do the sort of regulation/prohibition that they currently impose requires a Constitutional amendment.

The reason that I’m against the War on Drugs (WoD) is that the enforcement has given rise to horribly contra-constitutional practices: no-knock raids, property confiscation (prior to conviction), and so forth. Furthermore, the WoD reallocates prosecution from actual (though ‘tougher’ [to convict]) crimes like corruption to these ‘easier’ crimes.
