Your sentence sure doesn’t.

In Russian there is a word ‘companeischina’ to sarcastically describe government initiatives like that. An idea of comaneischina is it is always huge and a failure. US has a history of these programs as well. ‘War on Poverty’ , ‘War on Drugs’, ‘War on Terror’. All failed too.

As long as the southern border is open, there is no war on drugs.

Sure. But is escaping reality necessarily a bad thing? What if you are in constant pain from some ailment?

blueunicorn6 is the one who believes that escaping reality with illegal drugs is a mark of cowardice (she is mute on whether it is only those using illegal drugs who demonstrate cowardice, such that escaping reality with booze is AOK).

I’ve copied her on this response so maybe we’ll hear directly from her.

It’s interesting that rtconner joins Free Republic today to comment on an article from 2012. Why, it almost looks like a pathetic attempt at a setup. Using illegal drugs to escape reality is cowardice. A brave person changes their reality. How much you making or taking?

You paid more attention to that than I did. I just directed him to the person making the cowardice claim.

You think you are being set up? On an anonymous internet forum? Set up for what? I’m sorry, but thinking one is being set up on an anonymous internet forum smacks of paranoia (best case scenario) or delusions of grandeur (not such a great scenario). Why would you think your opining is worthy of an anonymous internet forum setup (whatever that means)?

The War on Murder has been a dismal failure, too.

Hmmm, murder on one hand.
smoking a joint watching a Mumford and Sons show.

Yup, no difference.

Back then, I was giving a tour to newly-hired DEA agents to our police laboratory. Each agent was from NYC.

I’d attended the University of Miami, so I became the interpreter: None impressed me, so I thought the WOT was already a lost cause. :(
