“The apparent increase in popularity of online drugs purchases is yet another sign that the drug war is a monumental, catastrophic failure. This much is obvious. The big problem is that humans have been taking drugs throughout our history, and we don’t have a particular inclination to stop anytime soon. However, the puritanical powers that be decided to draw arbitrary lines in the sand and brand anybody who stepped onto the other side a criminal. The official message is ‘feel free to chug as much beer as you want – who needs a liver anyway – but if you so much as possess marijuana, MDMA, LSD, opium, or anything else on our ‘naughty’ list, you’re a filthy criminal.'”
“Now that we have read about two men of power who abused their power in various ways, we will compare and contrast them and their actions. Please refer to your texts “Fighting Hitler—a Holocaust story” and “Bush: Iraq War Justified Despite No WMD” to compare and contrast former President George W. Bush and HItler. We will use this in class tomorrow for an activity!”
