I agree with a lot of what has been said in this thread:
- The guy is usually a loon.
- The essay isn't exactly the best written.
- It is simplistic.
However, it is making a point that is one of the fundamental things wrong with the war on drugs, and whom everyone seems to overlook.
Sure it might have been nice if it was done more eloquently, or if it was done by someone else. But the message is still the same, and something we overlook when talking about the "War on Drugs".
