9/11 changes everything. That was W's self fulfilling prophecy.

First they came for the Communists,
- but I was not a communist so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists,
- but I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews,
- but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

I stopped smoking grass about 30 years ago. I don't believe it's good for you, but by far the worst thing it can do for you is get you busted. Apart from what the penal system does to drug users, I've seen many more lives messed up by alcohol, the drug of choice of the Washington elite and the Republican right among others.

I am speaking out because an important step in preventing a totalitarian state is to speak up for those with out a voice. Otherwise you will eventually become one without a voice. 9/11 has escalated the use of these police state tactics and instead of only targeting minority group drug users, they are increasingly being used against those who oppose government policy.

So don't accuse FYR of undermining crime prevention. Totalitarian police tactics are a serious crime. Remember the Nazis and the Sovs
