GOV. JOHNSON TALKING SENSE
To the Editor:
Gary Johnson is one of the few who is talking sense while the rest of the
politicians and their constituents whose industries and jobs depend on a
continuation of - but never a victory in - the drug war keep on spouting
their lies and propaganda in order to preserve, but again - never to win -
the war on drugs.
Maybe the corrupt politicians and media are required to adhere to the party
line of prohibition because law enforcement, customs, the prison and
military industrial complex, the drug testing industry, the "drug
treatment" industry, the INS, the CIA, the FBI, the DEA, the politicians
themselves et al can't live without the budget justification, not to
mention the invisible profits, bribery, corruption and forfeiture benefits
that prohibition affords them.
The drug war also promotes, justifies and perpetuates racist enforcement
policies and is diminishing many freedoms and liberties that are supposed
to be inalienable, according to the constitution and bill of rights.
