Not only does the “war on drugs” war on peaceful people (only some of whom use intoxicants that the government disapproves of) create its own unattractive and dangerous artifacts, it also encourages people to rat on their neighbors. (HT Mary O’Grady)
Some people call this war on peaceful people (only some of whom use intoxicants that the government disapproves of) a source of ordered liberty. I call it tyranny – and it’s tyranny that doesn’t even deliver on its marquis promise: it creates disorder as it batters liberty.
See, by the way, Mark Perry’s stats on U.S. incarceration rates. “Ordered liberty” my arse.
