"I asked you for evidence that shows any success that justifies the spending of billions of tax dollars on your crusade."

And I gave it to you.

This reponse was for a different statement, but an equally ludicrous one, made by you.

And I gave it to you.

You gave me nothing. Your numbers come from the Household Survey. They call you on the phone and ask, "how many illegal drugs have you used in the last month?". This is not science. Now, lets look at your claim: "Illegal drug use has declined 60% since 1979". There were 496,000 illegal drug arrests in 1979. Then, in post 286, you say there were "1.5 million drug arrests last year". Where is that 60% decrease?

The 1986 legislation that funded and escalated the Drug War was named "The Drug Free America Act." Its explicit aim was to make America "drug free in 10 years".
Are we drug free? How much more money will it take to reach that goal you've failed at?

Again, you try to spin. My comment was a reply to another poster and specific to his comment. Not only did you take it out of context, you edited it. Shows just how dishonest you Crusaders are.

Bull$hit. Prove it, bucko.

I just did. Thanks for the help. The 1.5 million arrests you posted saved me the trouble of looking it up.

Again I ask, show me a success that justifies the tax dollars spent on your Sin War.
Prove it, Bucko!
