Pot Again

The Tucson shooter is described as a pot-smoking loner. David Frum, in FrumForum, asks whether or nor it was the Reefer Madness that pulled the trigger.
Well, I know the feelings as they float by. All my life I have heard these debates, so I am very, very familiar with how this plays out in the intelligences of us all. Right after I have a post on drugs arguing for a sane policy, some loner high on weed goes crazy, and now we sit wondering if we were wise to have suggested... anything else but the present drug policy... BUT the present policy does not work! That is all there is to it. The present War on Drugs rewards the worst specimens of humanity with outrageous profits and corrupts everyone who comes near it.
I have just finished reading of the French hostages in Mali who were executed by the AqmiAl Qa'ida au Maghreb Islamique : "Al Qiada in the Islamic West of Africa " ).  Aqmi derives wealth from the flow of drugs to Europe and the Middle East the article in Le Figaro suggests.
In this same edition, a man in Bayonne-Nord, a man who is described as obviously under the influence of alcohol  -  Un homme de 63 ans, manifestement sous l'emprise de l'alcool, a ouvert le feu sur cinq personnes dimanche dans une laverie à Bayonne, faisant un mort et deux blessés dont un grave  -  opened fire on a laundrette, killing one, wounding two, one of whom is in critical condition. One must choose one's poison, so it seems.



I repeat and re-emphasize my call for a sane drug policy.
The lunatics have always been the cat's paws of the oppressors, and they always will be. Just as Hitler used Van der Lubbe to burn the Reichstag, so do the enemies of freedom spread their vile propaganda nets widely, knowing full well that they will catch a few unbalanced ones to do their dirty work.

By the way, the Palin creature has removed the image of rifle scope cross hairs from her Facebook page, but only after millions went there and recorded it for posterity. I am sure she is seeking something of conscience and wisdom to say, but she has not yet found anything.
