As I perceive the current administration to be totally indifferent to the disadvantaged - I don't have any hopes of influencing the way things are - not until Barrack Obama actually takes office.
In the 'war against drugs' I feel that the *most* of those arrested are victims of the state. I do not feel that it is right to punish people who have this problem - no matter what moral pulpit one stands behind! For the most part, the current policies only serve to further victimize those who suffer from the disease of addiction. Specifically, the Solomon-Lautenberg amendment<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon-Lautenberg_amendment>is perhaps one of the most disgraceful attacks against the common people of this country which has ever been devised. Ever wonder why so many 'celebs' are charged for driving with a suspended license? It is because of this amendment which makes a mandatory suspension of one's license statutory for drug conviction - that so many people are driving without a license. (And you mostly only hear about this happening to people who otherwise have the means to have other people drive them around!!!) -WaV On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 6:56 AM, Quinta Wilkinson <qui...@clearwire.net>wrote: > They do work for us and we do have the right and need to tell them how we > feel.
