Thank you very much Free World Leaders for that intelligent discourse on
marijuana. What would we do without you? We love being your lemmings. Keep
beating the Drums so we can march into your ocean of insanity.
"Zero Tolerance" is an extremely dangerous attitude to have regarding crime.
Zero Tolerance by definition means excessive vigilancy.
# "War on Drugs Runs Up Against the 4th Amendment"
# By Tony Mauro, USA Today
#
# J. LeWayne Kelly went to the Austin, Texas, airport two months ago.
#
# But because he's black, dressed casually and wore expensive cowboy boots,
# he soon was surrounded by strangers---police who suspected him of being
# a drug courier.
#
# Mr. Kelly had gone to the airport only TO PICK UP A FRIEND.
#
# He felt numb, agreed to be searched because he didn't want to get beaten.
#
# Kelly tried an experiment. He had a white friend WEAR THE SAME OUTFIT he
# had worn that day and retrace his steps at the airport.
#
# Police gave the friend not even a glance.
#
# His lawyer filed a class-action suit in a Texas state court.
#
# "The Supreme Court has hobbled the Fourth Amendment so much that I
# never even thought about filing in Federal court."
