As long as the issue is in the spotlight...
Can we talk about the real issue now?
Can we talk about what a sad waste the "War on Drugs" has been? Can we get a high-level discussion going about non-violent kids getting thrown into prison with career criminals, and walking out with no job prospects because of their incarceration and a bunch of underworld contacts? Can we talk about how racist our drugs laws are and how young minority men are being deligated to life of addiction and desperation because of our systems rush to throw them into the joint? Can we talk about the prison-industrial complex? Can we talk about a health issue being treated like a criminal issue, and the negative consequences that come from failing to make this distinction?
Anyone? Hello?
*crickets chirp*
Gotcha. Then on with the passive-aggressive attacks and Rovian disinformation campaigns. And God forbid anyone call the Clinton's on their bullshit, lest you risk getting branded as a sexist.
ENOUGH.
