I can't seem to get the knack of writing regularly.

It's like watching a train go by and there went my thoughts.

So here's some website copy to be parked till who knows when.



And then on the senseless war on drugs.....or let's call it outsourcing our war on drugs. Stupid stupid stupid. I was listening on c-span to Jonathan Junger talking about supporting the Afghan poppy growers and of course thought about the billions spent on trying to attack the drug problem by attempting to control the supply. This seems like such an odd approach for a free market society; attacking the free market; thinking that you can somehow limit the supply of something that has been around forever and is in endless supply. Drugs, I imagine, have been around longer than money and do literally grow on trees. What if those dollars were spent on say healthcare? and the demand side of that equation. You know, the side that we actually can control. The one of personal responsibility. That would probably be considered too socialist, unlike trying to attack an endless free market by interfering with international markets, which is capitalist?

"New Orleans is, or should be, the graveyard of the conservative ideology that government is useless. An American city is reduced to Third World desperation as people who own nothing scrounge for necessities in a sea of waste and federal officials offer lame excuses about how their disaster plans would have worked fine had there not been, you know, a disaster." -- Michael Hitzik
