Just to get the ball rolling, here's the "Drug warrior joke of the day":

Q: What do you call 647,662 marijuana users in solitary confinement?

A: A good start.

(Why worry about sleeper terrorists hiding in America, when there are all these illegal drug users to go after? Gotta keep those priorities straight, you know.)

Center for Cognitive Liberty and Ethics

Dig that mission statement.

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah blah blah.

1.6 million arrests and people continue to use drugs. Let's just end this nonsense and put the money and effort chasing people who crash planes into skyscrapers.

Tera-dittos.

Each issue is 100 pages and perfect bound.

A-humata-humata-humata

The number of arrests is meaningless without a corresponding number of convictions.

**The Center seeks to foster cognitive liberty ? the basic human right to unrestrained independent thinking, including the right to control one?s own mental processes and to experience the full spectrum of possible thought.**

...a clever way of saying that smoking crack is a "basic human right". Really objective viewpoint here...

Heres another joke. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

, in the year 2000 more people were arrested for drug offenses than for murder, rape, arson, aggravate assault, robbery, burglary, and auto theft combined.

Just shy of 41 percent of those arrests were for personal possession of marijuana.

According to the report, over 1 million Americans were arrested last year for possessing small amounts of drugs for their own personal use; 647,662 of those people possessed marijuana.

Well, I feel so much safer knowing that the cops arrested over a half a million people for possession of personal use pot, rather than spending time catching murderers, robbers, arsonists, and, oh yeh, lets not forget KNOWN TERRORISTS.

With Americans now wondering what our government was doing instead of knowing that these terrorists acts were going to happen, it is no suprsie to me that we have seen this heavy propaganda about "drugs funding terrorists" over the past month. Many Americans, who may have been borderline in the past, now see that this futile "drug war" is costing resources that would be better speant elsewhere. Now our government must convince the sheep that locally produced pot, cocaine and ecstacy somehow fund terrorists who only have marginal control over heroine, most of which goes to Europe.

Being left alone is a basic human right (IMHO, its the only one, everything else is just details), and that right does not go away if you take a drug the govt currently says is illegal.

Heres another joke. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

People who use drugs as a form of "recreation" (a term which would have amused Orwell, no doubt) are idiots. They obviously value their brain cells less than they value the experience of doing damage to their brain cells.

However, I'm not so sure we should make idiocy a crime.

Just wait until someone else's definition of "idiot" finally includes you, for some unknown reason.

Re-Assign all DEA agents to the INS. Tell 'em to bring their guns with them!

About the only part of the Constitution most in here are concerned about is the "right to keep and bear". As long as they have that they think they are safe. When the doors start being kicked in to get their hunting shotgun they'll wonder how the h3ll it every got that far, little late by then tho.

"However, I'm not so sure we should make idiocy a crime. "

The drugs are illegal, not the idiocy.

COOL!!! Does this mean that we finally won the "war on drugs"??????

I feel real good about the $billions spent now!!

**Being left alone is a basic human right (IMHO, its the only one, everything else is just details), and that right does not go away if you take a drug the govt currently says is illegal.**

So, in other words, you believe that you should only obey the laws you AGREE with. How Clintonesque.

I suppose you'd also believe someone has the "basic human right" to make anthrax letters in the privacy of his own home and the government has no right to interfere until the envelope has been opened. How libertarian.

If you send someone an Anthrax letter, you obviously have not left them alone. You don't have to wait until its been opened.

Heres another joke. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Thank god jail space is unlimited and cheap....

**If you send someone an Anthrax letter, you obviously have not left them alone. You don't have to wait until its been opened.**

Correct me if I'm wrong but those "consistent" libertarians preach that the government should never interfere with one's personal behavior until it harms somebody else. The drunk or druggie, in their premise, is free to get behind the wheel and weave all over the road but the cops have no right to interfere until he actually hits something.

So, following this "logic", the making and sending of an anthrax letter would be perfectly okay and the government should never impose itself until someone had actually become sick. In fact, given libertarian leanings on taking natural substances into the body, one might think the government would have to ask the letter recipient first if it wasn't okay to get anthrax poisoning before declaring a crime had actually taken place.
