The solemn insistence of impeaching Clinton, because of a sex scandal, must have appeared in their eyes as an absurd spectacle. But we don't have to travel to the bombed out cities of the world to acknowledge this ironic contrast. All you have to do is drive down the streets of anarchy, in the poor urban ghettoes of America, and look inside one of their rat-infested apartments and ask yourself if the poor and the hungry care about Viagra or whether Clinton lied about his affair or not. There is something profoundly offensive about it. If you think about the billions of dollars being wasted in Columbia on a phony Drug War, you realize that laws should not be made to benefit the rich, they should be made to help the poor.
Most sensible people draw a line between marijuana and drugs.
I think it speaks volumes of someone who is doing cocaine as opposed to someone who only smokes marijuana. And yet, our government makes no distinction between hard drugs like heroine, cocaine, and marijuana. Most people have the good sense not to put marijuana in the same category as the hard stuff. If so, don't expect to hear about it in the news. The criticism of wasting billions of dollars on an unwarranted drug war has been raised occasionally, but not from the mainstream press reporters.
