[Vision2020] Why are Pocatello's on-line respondents so civil?

[Ted Moffett]

Paul et. al.

Of course, chemical devil's advocates are numerous, wealthy, and on
the move...Your efforts are a mere speck of sand on an infinite
shore...

The "War On Drugs" is a joke, an oppressive draconian ruse against a
policy (promotion of drug use as a solution to the human condition)
that is widely adopted as mainstream, promoted by the medical and
psychiatric profit oriented clergy, even more incredibly by the
alcohol and tobacco dealers who are associated with more death and
disease than all illegal drugs combined many times over.

A quick survey of the advertising landscape reveals just how much the
pharmaceutical gurus think we must have soporific drugs (Ambien),
drugs to improve our social relations (anti-anxiety, Paxil), drugs for
enhanced sexuality (Cialis, Viagra, as if human sexual impulses need
encouragement?), drugs to suppress the normal impulses of children to
express their animality, their impulses to play and be physical
(Ritalin), to keep them contained in their seats while bored to death
in classrooms.  Millions is spent to convince you that alcohol will
enhance your image in the marketplace of human social relations, and
the insidious addiction to tobacco (nicotine), well, this can be
satisfied at your local supermarket, as though they were dispensing
heroin.

And now, on to the drug induced horror of interrogation of a rendered
detainee in some God forsaken hidden torture chamber, to keep us safe
in the "War On Terror," which makes the "War On Drugs" look like a
kindergarten propaganda and law enforcement effort...

Habeas Corpus?
