if you have a chance read this alarming article about the latest phase in
the war on "drugs".
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=9871
It's about a new two tiered mandantory minimun sentencing
law akin to the grossly unfair one applied to powered cocaine (short
sentences) vs crack (heinously long sentences). In this case it's so called
club drugs like "extasy" vs methamphetamine.
the article is by arriana huffington of all people. the master mind behind the
attempt by the vacuous michael huffington to buy his way into the U.S. senate
in California a few years back. I don't know if she's had a brain transplant
or if this is her good identical twin or what but this article is very good.
Also in the name of the great pumpkin VOTE!!!! we can't have that fool bush
in the white house. He supports these horrible mandantory minimun laws that
consign some people to rot in prison and lose their futures for doing what he
did (nose candy). While he's sitting pretty joking about his "youthful
indiscretions"!
