Re: Taking over the world Yeah, we had those raps. You didn't? DARE was THE main reason why I started looking into homeschooling 4 years ago. Turns out there are a lot of good reasons to do it, but that was the impetus... I saw what the whole zero tollerance, zero respect, zero thought mentality was doing to my older daughter and most of her friends.
-If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.

Re: DARE I contend that it never was JUST a money making scheme, though money is a big part of it. DARE is primarily a scheme to normalize and promote the snitch culture.


The announced changes make it even more like the Program than it was to begin with. Now THAT's scary! -If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.

Re: cnn/robert downey jr./drug war protest I went to a protest last spring for the release of Robert Downey Jr from prison.  I got some good information there and it was also televised, we chose to do it at the premiere of his movie "Black and White".  Our group quadrupled in size after the coverage of that event.  I think we need to do something that will be seen like that.

cnn/robert downey jr.drug war protest   I did not see the protest,but as long as it was peaceful I would have been in support. The drug war is a disaster.By outlawing drugs we have created a lucrative black market that has spawned corruption all over the world. We have surrendered precious civil liberties and have made snooping a national obsession.


  Robert Downey Jr is a sick man. In his last episode he was found in a hotel room alone with a large supply of cocaine.That's pathetic,but not criminal.Downey did not harm any other person. In the same manner, I was outraged to see Daryl Strawberry brought before the court in handcuffs on a possesion of drugs charge.You would have thought he was an ally of Timothy McVeigh the way he was manacled.


  I am not in favor of the "recreational" use of drugs,but I think that war against their use is doomed to failure.Who would be most harmed by the decriminalization of drugs? Would it not be the drug cartels who bring misery and drive-by shootings to our land? Let's put them out of business.
