And I know this, and know many.. who know this.
(I once read an extensive history of Coca, similar in tone)
But knowledge has little to do with anything legislated the Murican Way. There's Big $$ in organized repression - never mind the anti-Constitutional frosting on the cake: confiscations with no due process. And because we are so sanctimonius - especially that twit Bennett and his legislated-morality coterie - I guess we can see why..
Reversing the present For-Profit prison boom.. seems a lot like the hummingbird quip. Personally I haven't the slightest idea what social-nuclear explosion would be needed to awaken the Murican Peepul from their habitual preference for Puritan-originated bathos.
Neither logic nor reason is enough. Crap shoot, maybe worse today than ever before - Hell, we're about to forcibly eject a guy who hates us, via preemptive first strike! We are capable of any madness and we have the equipment to implement our fantasies. The Drug Warz shall continue in background for the larger madness. Unless something *extraordinary* occurs next and quite soon.
