"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
This Is Your War on Drugs
“If this very literal “drug war” insanity is going to continue to be waged in our name, we ought to make goddamned sure everyone knows exactly what it entails. And this is what it entails. Cops dressed like soldiers breaking into private homes, tossing concussion grenades, training their guns on nonviolent citizens, and slaughtering dogs as a matter of procedure.” Yet another incident of intimidation theater, played out so frequently it is almost cliché. Reduce consumption of store bought goods and you decrease the amount you pay in taxes, which is where the salaries of these “public servants” comes from. Stop paying them to harass, assault, rob, rape, and kill citizens.
