Reporter's Notebook: Don Henry Ford Jr.

Argument for the Status Quo in Drug policy

I posted this at the Agonist. Thought a few here might enjoy it as well.

I am tired of arguing against current policy on the war on drugs, tired of being rejected by my own, tired of finding myself included in the groups we hate, like Negroes that act like Negroes, Mexicans and other Spanish speakers, Arabs, Islamists, Liberals, Communists, French, athiests, Russians, slant-eyed races, agnostics and terrorists. (My apologies to any of the above willing to act like decent Chrisitan white folk.)

So today I argue on behalf of continuing our current policy in the world. Being as how my primary field or expertise is the war on drugs, I will begin there.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
