Well is this how we will win the war on drugs? Just another reason for the govt. to be able to employ more $ ! If we were out of Iraq and settled this war on drugs, now that would kick start the economy and our becoming a better Nation here and abroad. Aww to dream. Is that possible? With all the power against us. But and there is always a but... He, he he.

Drug references in rap music are on the rise, study shows

How about we get out of Iraq AND stop spending money on the unwinnable war on drugs. The whole "settled this war on drugs" is quite frankly a silly statement. If we didn't spend money on either, I'm sure our economy would be doing even better, a lot less people in jail and prison too.

So why don't you do more than one liners and give your assessment. a thought maybe or a real post or is numbers the goal? Again I said other understood it so why are you making it something less than it is?

Can't you connect the dots? The war on drugs is a lost battle. Lost money, lost manpower and costly maintaining many for a drug that ought not be on the list of hard drugs. Getting the drift? Now put it back with the other items I mentioned and use more than your fingers and toes to add the costs up, ok?
The idea is more county jails and mor eprisons. New jobs sources which require more prisioners. Big Business and costly for the average person, mainly non anglos or at a higher rate anyway. Part of the machine being created.
