Interesting how he points out how essential the War on Drugs is to keeping blacks on the Democrat plantation.

From the SMU campus paper, 9-26-03, I found this interesting cokmment by "African-AmericanStudent Senator" Nina Morris:
"This event should be a wake-up call to minorities. When these kind of issues come up, minorities take offense. But instead, we need to do something.
YCT researched...
We need to get out of our box of thinking that white people are all against us.
Wake up, minorities, wake up!"

"were arguing that affirmative action was solely based on race. It's not based on race. It's based on bringing a diverse community to a certain organization."

This student does not know the difference between an objective ("bringing a diverse community to a certain organization") and the criterion for selecting the action leading to that objective (affirmative action).

It's scary that he'll get a college degree.

Drug abuse can adversely affect a family, don't get me wrong, but it's going to affect a family regardless of whether drugs are illegal. Same goes for fast food and alcohol, and gambling, and all-around bad attitudes. People who make poor decisions aren't criminals. They're people. In a free society, people ought to be free to screw things up and live with the consequences. It's the only way they're ever going to learn. But when we try to solve addictions by eliminating narcotics, we only create a new set of problems that affect a larger number of people on the whole.

Well said.
