I support the MPP and so should you. Not because I want the whole country to become pot heads or that I think its ok for people to waste their life away in altered states... but its another one of those victimless crimes. And in the cases where there is a victim, the crime wasn't the drug, the crime was the action. For instance, if 'Timmy the Pothead' gets high on something and goes nuts and kills 20 people... he's a murderer, regardless of what he had put in his body before he committed the criminal action. Actually... in that altered state... I'd say that Timmy is more likely to sit on the couch or make make some nachos then he is to go on a killing spree... It just takes too much effort. And, before you bring up the drug-related gang violence... let me ask you who created the black market that makes selling the drugs on the street so profitable? So profitable that people are willing to fight to protect their turf? And all that money they make goes to good uses... and gets taxed too... riiiight...

The reason you should support the MPP and any other organization working against all odds to fight the machine... is because the 'War on Drugs', like most of the other wars congress has been fighting on our own land (Poverty, Education, Terrorism, etc...), the War itself does FAR more harm then good. Education hasn't improved in this country... We aren't any safer against terrorists, and have given away most of our freedoms, and the erosion of the middle class and expanding poverty proves one thing... Congress should get out of the War business.

So, I get this email from the MPP... and it has this ad in it... and perhaps this War on Drugs is far worse then you might have imagined. Watch this video, and tell me that you think that we are choosing wisely when we make our policies.

Discussion is welcome, and stupid cliche responses will be either made fun of, ignored, or deleted. Have some substance to your viewpoint if you're going to make a comment.
