Wealthy white folks do the crime, but mostly black folks do the time. Being poor is the key factor to prison population. The poor, no matter what color, receive little legal council of any use. "In America you can have all the freedom and justice money can buy you." Says Rusty White, another recovering drug warrior from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.
"Amazing Grace," (the film about the life and times of the author of this most beloved hymn) was a good depiction of the evils of big government. Racism still thrives in the status quo. African-Americans use and sell about 14 percent of all illegal drugs and do about 74 percent of the prison time for drug law violations. The impact of the drug war on African-American families is tragic.
Join the Easy Revolution. The web is the fastest growing communications medium in the history of the world. A powerful tool, a window of opportunity, in our war of good over evil; the Internet continues to revolutionize the way we communicate and has enormous potential for reshaping the political process.
The obvious growing acceptance of libertarian ideas in mainstream America is reflected in Ron Paul's shockingly strong campaign. It also shows in our large and growing rejection (latest poll 80%)of the unethical politics or the status quo.
War Made Easy exposes the government's and the media's history of deceiving the American people; leading us into war after war. With each new conflict the civilian casualties have risen, now at 90% in Iraq.
Our Founding Fathers knew big government would always mean a gang of evil doers. We have come to the very point they knew we would, eventually, reach. There is a real need to be rebels with just cause, brave American heroes and "throw off the bonds," or down size to our original vision of self-government; meaning less government, more freedom. Education is the key and we must work diligently toward that end, telling truth vs. big government propaganda.
Support Ron Paul's "American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007." It will restore basic Constitutional protections and empower Americans to support human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in the world at large. It frees us from the stench of hypocrisy and will protect Americans and our troops from retaliation by foreign powers for Uncle Sam's transgressions of America's most hallowed principles.
The real cause of this huge quagmire of failed policy is the beast, big government, that money hungry beast, Uncle Sam! Ma Freedom tells it like it is! The beauty of it is when we focus on downsizing our government we regain our roots of self-government and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and future generations. The World Trade Organization and the United Nations are more big government, money hungry beasts that we must tame or cut down to size.
We are not alone; many other countries suffer the tyranny of big government. It seems, Egypt, Latin America and the Philippines routinely violate their citizens' civil and political rights. The European Union joined with rights groups like Amnesty International to call again for a worldwide end to the use of the death penalty and encourage governments to vote for an upcoming United Nations resolution to ban the practice.
If only we could eliminate all violence and need for a, "death, for a death," policy. What if we used sterilization of violent offenders as well as imprisonment? Recent genetic research shows aggressive behavior can be bred out of foxes. Don't think our government is not capable of doing this. Over 65,000 individuals have been sterilized by 33 states of our United States, under state compulsory sterilization programs.
The bodies pile up like cordwood or holocaust victims (more than 33,000 precious lives lost in 2005) but does anyone care if overdose deaths skyrocket!? In another uncelebrated scandal, we have not been reducing the harm with opioid antagonist, Naloxone, which has been around forever. It could be made available over the counter without a prescription or opioids could be prescribed only with an accompanying naloxone prescription. New Mexico is the only state so far to show a little compassion. The NM 911 Good Samaritan law helps to eliminate the fear of arrest when calling 911 for help during an overdose.
Prescription meds mixed with alcohol figure in most suicides. Treating drug abusers compassionately, as patients with an illness might help prevent this tragedy and many others.. The sweet milk of human desire or our consuming passions can destroy us or, as we gain more control, make us stronger.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice has been accused of cruel and unusual punishment. Sherry A. Nance, serving a life sentence in Gatesville says it is,"an attempt at state-sponsored euthanasia of the growing number of elderly and disabled female inmates" which is definitely a violation of their human rights. Read her letter and demand that this abuse of prisoners in TDCJ custody stop.
John Whitmire, the Democrat from Houston who chairs the Senate Committee on Criminal Justice, suggests abolishing the Texas Youth Commission! Top official at TYC appeared taken aback by Whitmire's proposal. The Senator said no amount of reforms at the TYC would correct what he sees as an expensive, poorly conceived, top heavy, ineffective bureaucratic operation that's better known for its sex abuse scandals than its graduation rates.
The Vermont Supreme Court ruled last week that police must first obtain a search warrant before making low level surveillance flights over private property. Defendant Stephan Bryant leads a austere life without running water or electricity.
We need more judges like New Hampshire Superior Court Judge William Groff! He threw out the evidence in cannabis case.
These Amarillo Jurors ROCK! The jury took just 11 minutes to acquit Tim Stevens, 53,.who uses medical marijuana to treat the symptoms of HIV. "It's time for legislators in Texas and around the country to follow the public's lead and take action to protect patients, so that no one battling a life-threatening illness has to live in fear of arrest,"said Ray Warren, director of state policies for the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, D.C., and a former North Carolina Superior Court judge.
The debate over medical marijuana or cannabis is really a scandalous controversy over whether this very easy-to-grow herb should be allowed to compete with pharmaceuticals for pennies on the dollar. US Representative Barney Frank announced he plans to file a federal bill to legalize "small amounts" of marijuana. Ask your Congressperson to cosponsor the "Make Room for Serious Criminals" bill.
Arresting nonviolent people for making a safer health choice in a medicinal/recreational drug is shameful reefer madness. Can law enforcement find something better to do?
Celebrate our similarities; instead of prisons, build bridges of tolerance to differences in religion, race and lifestyle. DNA testing has shown our court judgment to be unreliable! In case after case corruption or ineptness has found innocent people guilty of murder and allowed the real killer to escape punishment and walk among us.
While we police individual recreational and medicinal use of drugs; murderers and violent sexual predators roam free. Get tough on violent crime! Warriors can get their adrenaline rush increasing public safety; chasing killers and other perpetrators of violence.
