just keep on telling yourself that and everything will be all right.
year after year we've watched the rhetoric change, but little else. the war on drugs becomes a police action on drugs and we all know how little difference there is between the two. government softens its stance only to turn around and declare all out war just a few steps down the road. recently we've gone from "just say no" to "but i didn't inhale" to "i inhaled, but it was the folly of youth and a big mistake". how much difference is there really between those three statements? at least nancy was honest about her intent, unlike the nanny state coddling of brak and his ilk - admitting weed's harmlessness and denying such pleasures to the people all at the same time. the current administration has already shown us how little it values the constitution, so do you really think they have any intention of lifting an unconstitutional prohibition that gives them the control they so crave over their subjects?
