Yes, the drugs - a HUGE amount of drugs - cross our national borders. But it
is being PULLED in, a completely different situation than Military defense

And what happens when you bang the drum of hysteria long enough?
Bizarre distortions in our social fabric:
widespread fear, loathing and suspicion.
And: censorship.
Tom Petty wins MTV's highest video award, but they always censored the
word 'joint' in the video! MTV, the spirit of Rock'N'Roll...not.
Maybe they're just doing what they can: they played the word BACKWORDS
in the video...a British band was on trial in the U.S. a few years ago
charged with putting backward-playing lyrics on their album (acquitted).
But it's okay if Jay Leno shows a Clinton look-alike smoking a bong.
Drug addicts can't get clean needles, furthering the AIDS epidemic.
