"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
George Washington.

" ... There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them. Hence as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more."
-- Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to the Federal Constitutional Convention, as recorded by James Madison on June 2, 1787. |

Democratic politicians like the War on Drugs just as it is - because they love the power it gives the federal government.
The Libertarian Party says the War on Drugs is worse than a total failure. It is the greatest cause of violent crime in our country and the primary danger to your safety. Government can't keep drugs out of the country; it can't even keep drugs out of its own prisons.
