“The Super Committee’s failure to do the very thing it was designed to do, balance the budget, speaks volumes about our leaders and political system. But rather than debate austerity and spending, I offer you a loophole to escape the polarized narrative of taxes and public services, all the while pushing billions of dollars back into the economy: Legalize drugs.” ~By Kristen Gwynne

DRUGS ARE KILLING OUR GOOD (WHITE) KIDS. I GET PAID NICE OVERTIME MONEY TO PUT DOPERS (YOUR BAD BLACK BOYS) IN JAIL FOR DRUGS (POT). DON’T MESS WITH MY GRAVY TRAIN. WHY SHOULD DOPERS BE ALLOWED TO INTERFERE WITH MY CAREER AND MY FAT PAYCHECK NOT TO MENTION MY PENSION THAT YOU ALL PAY ME (FOR JAILING YOUR KIDS)? SO DON’T LEGALIZE DRUGS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I EARN MY DAILY BREAD: SHOOTING, ARRESTING, TESTILYING AGAINST, AND JAILING YOUR KIDS. AND PARENTS. AND GRANDPARENTS TOO. AND YOU PAY ME TO DO THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT MONEY – AND PLEASE NEVER LEGALIZE POT. FOR THE KIDS.

The “war on drugs” is a losing battle and has put tens-of-millions of non-violent Americans in prison giving America the highest prison population in the world. Doesn’t sound like the land of the free afer-all, does it?. Legalizing drugs will make drugs lose their street value thus ending the stealing and killing that drug dealers cause. We need to work to help those that are addicted to drugs, not kill them or throw them behind bars!
The losing drug-war has cost taxpayers billions while lining the pockets of government backed cartels!

“You want to get rid of drug crime in this country? Fine, let’s just get rid of all the drug laws.” – Ron Paul

The system doesn’t work for the underprivileged ever, and seldom works correctly unless you have some elite status.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that agrees with you.Common sense is still popular in some circles.

It is such hypocrisy to sit around at 11 am having a scotch on the rocks with all your junior league friends (after the help has put your Ritalin addled step-child down for a mid-morning nap and then decry the loosening of drug laws and uppity children of the help in the prisons.
