Good little cannon fodder

See the obedient Hitlerjugend marching off to the drug war. It doesn't matter if they know that D.A.R.E. has been proven to be, at best, ineffective. Nothing's going to stop them from teaching the children that marijuana leads to coma and death.

[Thanks, Herb]

See also this idiocy, granted the status of "education."

Update: I know that this kind of stuff can seem pretty depressing to readers here, but re-watch that video and realize that the TV station got it right. Not only did they mention the D.A.R.E. effectiveness controversy in the lead-in, they gave it significant detail in the piece, even going so far as to mention that D.A.R.E. might have the opposite effect.

This actually served to make D.A.R.E. lady and daddy drug war look a little... creepy, particularly when juxtaposed with the little marching soldiers footage.

There's some parents out there who watched that news item and went... "Wait a second..."

And that's good news.

Halle Berry bringing Tulia scandal to the big screen?

Via Grits for Breakfast comes this news that Halle Berry is going to be playing the role of the lead NAACP attorney in a movie about the Tulia drug bust. (46 people, mostly black, in a very small town, busted for drug sales based on the word of one officer.)

According to the article, production will begin in May.

Having a big star like her bring popular visibility to this aspect of the drug war could be very valuable.

There's a war going on. It destroys lives and families, spawns violence, suspends civil liberties, tramples on the infirm, locks up millions of peaceful citizens, costs billions, and subjugates reason with fear. This blog looks at the front lines of the drug war, with news, analysis, and the occasional rant.
