"No offense, but you are a doofus"? That sure was an offensive comment. He/she was just stating an opinion.
Intellectual honesty? Try this one on for size. Read the Patriot Act. Have you read it? In the history of this nation, this is the most liberty stripping act ever created. All under the Bush/Ashcroft regime.
Read the entire act, and tell me if it doesn't give you any cause for concern. Look at all the power this act gave the government. Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves.
The war on drugs is a joke. Money wasted where it could be better spent on other things that actually help people. And no, Clinton/Reno were nothing compared to Bush/Ashcroft and their little plan to invade people's privacy, and lock people up without probable cause, search people's residences without even following due process. Oh, I didn't realize Janet Reno dodged the draft. I guess you really do learn something everyday.
