My cause is justice around the world, but particularly here in America. I'm convinced that realistically the history books of the future could read: "There was a 200 year experiment in Democracy, but people couldn't handle freedom and the experiment failed."
We are the ones who have to turn it around.
D.A.R.E., Partnership, et al have been focusing on children, convincing us and them that the children are warriors and must be miniature soldiers in this dirty drug war. They've sent them the message that its okay to be a bully, a thief, and a liar, as long as you have the power to make it stick. They've taught them that they are not responsible for their own behavior, that their parents are incapable, and that if drugs were gone, all the problems of the nations would disappear. They've taught the young ones that human beings are disposable, dispensable, and that there's no alternative. These are very unrealistic and dangerous messages. If we don't find a better policy for dealing with drugs than this 30 year failure, the next era of adults will be nasty little nazis, unloving and loyal to none.
