Bob Dole on Drugs

   Dole, who returned to Washington for Labor Day
   weekend, also pledged to use the White House as a
   bully pulpit to promote the "moral message"
   against drugs and to criticize what he called the
   entertainment industry's glamorization of drug use.

   On Sunday, he is to address the convention of the
   National Guard Association of the United States
   during which he's expected to propose that the
   military be enlisted to assist in a renewed war on
   drugs.

So why didn't you support Pat Buchanan for president, the ONLY 
candidate to support even a partial legalization of marijuana?  Speaking
of legalizing drugs, wouldn't it be a good tactic to demand the absolute
legalization of ALL drugs?  The compromise eventually to follow would be 
a vast improvement over the status quo.

I'm voting Libertarian, and thinking of registering as such, even though
I can't stand their capitalist economics, they stand by allowing people
to organize and speak out against the very ideals that allowed them to
do such.  Our government is so corrupt, swinging a figurative axe against
it could very well lead to improvement.

	Question:  Since the military, or more specifically,
	the CIA imports most of the drugs into the US, just which
	part of the military is going to declare war on which part
	of the military?  

	Or is all that going to get swept under the rug, so that 
	the ripocrats can further enslave the american population?

	However, if you're tired of the Lesser of N evils, 
	Cthulu's export policy is that you can't escape 
	anyway, and your puny mortal lives will be absorbed 
	along with his morning coffee.  Your encryption

	arcane formulas in the Cyphernomicon of that mad 
	physicist Tim The Enchanter may summon spirits from 
	the vasty deep, but no secrets are safe from 
	Nyarla-S-Ahothep who knows all and sees all.

The Post also noted -- and this was buried inside in a short article -- 
that Clinton had stepped up his attacks on drugs during his acceptance 
speech, which I intentionally missed.
