TYT: Marijuana Legalization Support At All Time High But...

[ihavenobias]

Despite a record high level of support for marijuana legalization in America (according to polls by Rasmussen and Gallup), it appears President Obama may look to export anti-terrorist tactics to fight the war on drugs when he speaks at the Summit of the Americas. According to The Raw Story:

"...South American leaders will demand that the U.S. hear their arguments on drug legalization. Much as the U.S. argues for specialized tactics and military force to counter the drug gangs, South American nations like Colombia — a key U.S. military ally — are pushing for a less violent approach to counter the cartels that works through simple economics. Specifically, legalization would undercut the gangs' profits tremendously, which many believe would have a pacifying effect on the supply-side marketplace, currently drenched in blood from Peru to Mexico's northern border. Former presidents of Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and even one former U.S. Secretary of State all agree that America's drug war has failed and a new strategy is needed...".

1. US often turns to violence than intellect as a choice. And there are big

profits to be made, of course, by the MIC in the former choice. And we no longer have a democracy, so, what "we the people want" matters little.

2. All time high support for MW....All time high AGAINST the WOT.....

our elected officials no longer work for the American people.

We now have 2,000 govt agencies that work in law enforcement, spying and surveillance.

We have 2,000 private companies on the payroll who work for homeland security, domestic spying and the police.

What's the old saying... "When the only tool you have is a hammer... everyting looks like a nail".

We may never escape from the claws of the WOT and the police State.

4. I fear what we once had is fading quickly. And the police state is great for

the profiteers. Hoards of money is being made off of all of this. "We the people are in the way," except for the profiteers to make hoards of money off of "law enforcement, spying and surveillance," and the technology/equipment that goes with all of that. And many citizens are good little sheepie too naive to realize they are being trapped in a net too for profit.

5. For years the people who have been supporting the war on drugs have been degenerates.

Now the public is finally catching on to that fact. Costing and ruining lives for profit, or at best ideologically induced stupidity is inexcusable at this point.

And people who aren't paying attention still like to call this a free country. My ass. (Wow? Talk about cognitive dissonance.) Either stop spying on everything everyone does, or or give actual freedom to adults.

6. All time high?

Nice play on words.
