"... the United States, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) focus on preventing use ..." Well, if drug use among children are at unacceptable levels and the DEA and ONDCP have been fighting the "War on Drugs" for the last 40 years, I would conclude they have LOST. But, hey, keep this civil war going ... at least the politicians and cops are making money. Who cares about the human toll? “I am very concerned about reports that drug use among children is at unacceptable levels.”

I would reply: Dear Ron Wyden, I think Ron White would do a better job. We would expect, at least I do, a lot better from a "Democratic" lawmaker from Oregon. Senator Wyden, you're on notice. You will be replaced by a forward-thinking realist, not another tool of the drug war on Americans who've had enough of prohibition and unconstitutional searches, seizures, arrests and incarcerations. Hurry up and die, you dinosaur. Sincerely, Pissed This one really made me angry. I would reply:

Dear Ron Wyden,

I think Ron White would do a better job.

We would expect, at least I do, a lot better from a “Democratic” lawmaker from Oregon.

Senator Wyden, you’re on notice. You will be replaced by a forward-thinking realist, not another tool of the drug war on Americans who’ve had enough of prohibition and unconstitutional searches, seizures, arrests and incarcerations.

Hurry up and die, you dinosaur.

Sincerely,

Pissed
