That’s assuming he has a conscience to begin with. And if he turned out like Morbius? I don’t want that howling, bloodthirsty, deathless Id-thing running loose. Real prohibs are enough of a menace…

As I said, the genie’s out of the bottle…and it’s not going to go back in without a fight. A very public fight. And Judge Gray’s obviously ‘loaded for bear’. I wouldn’t want to tangle with him, in or out of court. Let’s hope the prohibs remain as foolish as his latest opponent was…

One more question: A few years ago, Florida Governor Jeb Bush spoke publicly about his family’s anguish that his two daughters were found to have a (I think it was a) prescription drug problem or addiction. And what he said was that his family needed privacy and understanding, and his daughters needed treatment. I completely agree, and I felt for all of them. So if WE have a problem (namely, us middle and upper class Caucasians), we need privacy and treatment. But if THEY have a problem (namely, the lower classes and people of color), they need jail! That is what is happening all over our great country. Doesn’t that fact bother you? If so, what do you propose we you do about it?

OUTSTANDING!!!

You know damn well that these lessons of the past are used today. How easy it must be to convince people they are living in a ‘free’ society.

Heres some common sense to counter this type of thinking.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826)

Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826)

We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826), letter to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816

A little rebellion now and then…is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826), Letter to James Madison, 1787

If none of these quotes ring true to you, you are truely un-American.

Present Drug Czar John P. Walters criticized ABC News for reporting on the Montgomery case. Walters showed no concern for Montgomery but rather complained, “Apparently ABC couldn’t find a grandmother on death row for carrying a roach clip…”

“Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”

That neglect is sufficient to consign him to the sad role of academic quack.

Any number of scholars who have incorporated a full accounting of the economic role played by illegal drug markets in pressured urban black neighborhoods could, in a properly moderated debate, clean his clock.

But James Q. Wilson is one of those Media Darling Professors- one of the very few academics entrusted by the American Media to provide “scholarly insight and perspective” on American social problems. Quack though he may be.

He’s been around too long not to realize that his arguments have been refuted repeatedly, often to his face.

Yet he persists in offering whatever sort of demagoguery and weaseling he can come up with, no matter how discredited.

There’s something sneaky and illegitimate about it. He’s targeting the gullible.

I don’t think he believes any of it himself.

I also have a strong suspicion that he’s sufficiently dialed in to the networks of power in this country to know full well that the “national security establishment” of the U.S. government has an extensive documented history of countenancing large-scale drug smuggling rings and granting impunity to them, when it suits their political aims.

That’s a sketchy combination.
