How many of you remember when... |
|
Cops and America's Most Wanted became this nation's first two reality show series. Think of the network. Think of how you might smoke a doob now and again. Think of "just say no". I'm a nearly 46 year old woman. A mom with a "special" 10 year old. Imagine how I could go to jail because I'm smoking a joint. So pathetic...

1. Imagine the millions of lives destroyed & billions of tax dollars spent. |

The "War On Drugs" has been a failure & a waste.

2. America's Most Wanted was a driving force in our society's Culture Of Fear. |

4. The "war on drugs" is bullshit. |
|
A good friend of mine is in the middle of a 34 year federal sentence on a cocaine charge.. a non-violent, first-time offender. It's an outrage. My cousin was raped by her stepfather as a teen and he only got probation and had to register as a sex offender.. no jail time. Something isn't right here.

6. Back then, I had hoped the future would be a little better |
|
when it comes to the criminalization of marijuana. I would have predicted it would be legalized or at least decriminalized by now.
And yeah, I kind of miss the days when COPS was our only reality show.

Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours And dreamed of all the great things we would do.
