  The “News Alert” is a pain and a product of 24/7 air time to be filled. Much of the time the “breaking news” is what you have already heard or, worse, unverified (aka gossip).

  The War on Drugs was lost before it began and it is likely far more lives have been lost in it than in Iraq.

  Legalize everything — help anyone who wants to kick a habit and let the others kill themselves —  our problem is people who want to live.

  The Rio Grande Border War, poppy growers in Afghanistan, Columbia or wherever can just get a real job (Well, not today.) and the money wasted on defense against drugs can be used for health care for those who can’t afford it.
