Short and sweet - right on!

I have little to add to this, and just wanted to share John Stossel's take on the failure of the "war on drugs."

Yes, the arguments presented are tried and true, but they all bear repeating. Prohibition failed and led to criminal activity far worse than drinking did, much as our current policies are doing little more than fueling the increased violence in Mexico, which in turns makes our own streets less safe. Stossel is spot on in connecting these dots.

I'm particularly glad that there is recognition that the real skulduggery is the increasingly militant stance of police forces. The near-terrorist tactics of SWAT teams in raiding homes has been an increasing concern, and one that is certain to erode civil liberty (and even civil society) if allowed to continue.

Thanks, John.
