Spoken like a true fascist. What the fuck do you think executive pardon is but just another "checks and balances"? The fact is that it's the criminal scum in power at the moment who are fucking the constitution with their dirty little "war on some drugs". Basic 1st Amemdment freedom of religion went right down the drain with the very first drug law. It's religious persecution pure and simple, nothing more, nothing less. Harry Browne should go further, if elected he should not only pardon every person ever convicted of a drug or gun offense, but he should order the immediate arrest of anyone who ever voted for a drug or gun law, and who ever enforced these despicable illegal laws. Take your stupid babbling about your phoney politics elsewhere -- it has no relativity to cypherpunks.
Actualy you mis-represent. The fundamental issues that trouble this country are not an effect of the war on drugs, but rather it an effect of them. There are many. A few, The acceptance by the rank and file of Lincoln's 'fundamental law of nations'. This has laid the basic groundwork for the ever increasing 'federalism' (and as a consequence socialism/fascism). The change in life style (e.g. loss of state power) we see a loss of power in one of the fundamental component pieces of our democracy. An increase in technology that has placed the ability to harm a large group of poeple in the hands of the individual like no previous time in history. etc. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able.
