You guys really want to see something happen? Check out this site.
http://ideas-canada.ca/Read over the history a little bit and get an idea where things stand w/ the various players and who is really protecting these gulags.
Here's another piece of the history puzzle. When I first discovered the many connections between the Program and American drug warriors, I thought that, naturally, drug policy reform organizations would be pleased as punch to have this kind of smoking gun evidence against their political and social policy opponents. What I didn't know at the time is that the drug policy reform movement is just lousy with stepcraft practitioners. They had already jumped on the (coerce) "treatment not incarceration" bandwagon. For a good long while, I continued posting to various Usenet groups and discussion lists w/ the tag line "If there's a worse idea going than locking people up for mutually consensual activity, it's locking them up in close proximity to some sadistic lunatic bent on saving them even if it kills them."
But money talks and, among other things, my wonderful, Super Seedling Awareness has left me less able to lay hands on that stuff than most people. So I juts started Fornits instead.
What if you guys were to contact the drug policy organizations and leaders in some numbers and try and explain to them just how fucking nuts are their strange bedfellows? It's not entirely hopeless. Jerry Epstine, for one, was willing to concede after some lengthy debate, that the treatment providers were not at all what he thought when the movement first joined forces with them. Most of Canada seems to me to be a whole lot more sane on these issues than my country. In fact, most of the drug warriors in Canada (outside of your own province, anyway) are American made anyway. The way things are going down here, one of the most rabid drug warriors ever, Bob Barr, just signed on as a lobbyist for his former arch nemesis, Marijuana Policy Project.
No better time. Think about it.
