Bob Dole on Drugs
http://allpolitics.com/news/9608/31/radio.addresses/ ... snip ... 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? xan jonathon grafolog@netcom.com 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 technology is futile against the Elder Gods, and the 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. -Declan On Sun, 1 Sep 1996 ichudov@algebra.com wrote:
