Bruce Willis, drug war idiot Unlike some people, I have no problem enjoying the performances by entertainers who have personal views I despise, or who lack basic common sense. Bruce Willis now joins that category. Link "I'm talking also about going to Colombia and doing whatever it takes to end the cocaine trade. It's killing this country. It's killing all the countries that coke goes into. "I believe that somebody's making money on it in the United States. If they weren't making money on it, they would have stopped it. They could stop it in one day." Yes, Bruce, people are making money from it. But no, you couldn't stop it in a day, or a century. Go back to licking your toxic cappucccino foam. 9:53:26 PM |  drug policy | Links | permalink | comment []

Vigil for Lost Promise The DEA has gotten even more offensive than usual: FEB 15--(Washington, D.C) The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced today the first-ever Candlelight Vigil to be held at DEA Headquarters in Arlington, Virginia on June 8th, 2006 to 2,500 members gathered for the XVIth Forum of the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA). The "Vigil for Lost Promise" will be a first of its kind remembrance, and the first of its kind of hope: hope and confidence that our work is shielding others from the great tragedy of drugs. The DEA along with its partners will bring together those who have lost loved ones --and their promise-- to drug use and abuse. For the DEA to do this... along with such sponsors as Joyce Nalepka and Drug Free Kids: America's Challenge, NIDA, and the Partnership for a Drug Free America... is downright sickening. It is the prohibition promoted by these groups that have contributed to drug deaths. So they have a special website for this vigil at www.vigilforlostpromise.com (I'm not making it a link because I don't want to give them links right now -- you'll see why) Go ahead and type it into your browser and check it out. Now check out a similar-looking site with very different content at http://www.vigilforlostpromise.org That page links to both Drug War Victims and a description of my view of the lost promise idea. If you have a web page and would like to help on this, simply place a link to http://www.vigilforlostpromise.org with the words 'Vigil for Lost Promise' as the linked words. With some help, we can make the .org site come up first in Google searches. 7:25:09 PM |  drug policy | Links | permalink | comment []
