Capitalism is being given a bad name due to big government interference and protection of the morally bankrupt. Business is not inherently evil. Consumers, we the people, have the power to put corporations out of business that do not behave ethically and show great concern about their impact on the community and environment! Stop patronizing them, refuse to buy what they are selling! The free market is a more powerful and efficient regulator than government.

Predatory capitalism destroys people, benign or ethical capitalism creates a world of abundance for all. This is the main point of Oliver Stones fascinating documentary, South of the Border.. Keen on investigating how the US media has depicted Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Stone journeys south to interview him and speaks with several South American presidents in the process including: Bolivia's Evo Morales, Brazil's Lula da Silva, Argentina's Nestor Kirchner and Cuba's Raúl Castro. The drug war, DEA, etc. are mentioned several times.

An important tip: The South American media was against the election of all these Presidents so that gives us hope to overcome our own propaganda machines.

Empire-building, policing the world, and casting off the Constitutions restraints solidifies tyranny at home, devastates the economy, and increases the threats to our national security. Warmongering, morally bankrupt empire builders and drug warriors think big government needs to solve all our problems.

Violent, hate filled, morally bankrupt, authoritarian warmongers are a different species than us, mere human beings. They use fear and propaganda to make us more accepting of their waste of our precious lives and resources. They are the opposite of true patriots; who believe in the American dream of self-government and value public safety first! Our heroes, who have given their lives for this country, died for freedom and for making this world a better place will have died in vain; if the American dream dies.

We all share a protective mechanism (or flaw?) in our wiring that releases negative energy toward any person we perceive as not sharing our world view. If we consciously recognize this and adjust behavior accordingly; celebrate our similarities plus build bridges of tolerance to differences, we create peace and abundance. We can change the world.

Are you questioning the hypocrisy, corruption and waste of the drug war and other big government tyranny? Are you cultivating a narrow-eyed, deeply skeptical attitude, when confronting a political issue or a health issue?

A California doctor studied aides patients with HIV negative partners over a ten year period and non of these partners had contracted HIV at the end of the study. Aides drugs like many dangerous pharmaceuticals destroy the patients liver and immune system, eventually causing death!

"The HIV/ AIDS Story is Being Rewritten!" Money spent fighting HIV/ AIDS is better spent fighting poverty and providing access to safe water.

In the documentary, House of Numbers: "Leung manages to present a barrage of intriguing theories debunking our generally accepted beliefs... There's no denying, however, the value of exploring such game-changing topics as how HIV-infection numbers are cooked for monetary and political gain; how the effects of global poverty may have led to so many AIDS-related deaths; how such widely used AIDS drugs as AZT have, themselves, often proved fatal; and whether HIV really exists." - Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

"Abraham Lincoln had it right. Our task should not be to invoke religion and the name of God by claiming God's blessing and endorsement for all our national polices and practices -- saying, in effect, that God is on our side. Rather, Lincoln said, we should pray and worry earnestly whether we are on God's side."- Jim Wallis author of GOD'S POLITICS.

In this frame of mind, with modern unbiased, science based statistical reporting our worries are over. We can see where our laws are causing more harm than good and change accordingly. Empirical statistical evidence strongly shows that a republic (the American form of government.) leads to less internal violence and democide. Democide is a term coined by political scientist R. J. Rummel in his book, DEATH by GOVERNMENT to describe "the murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder." Maybe we need to add cooking the numbers for monetary and political gain to this list!

It is down right sinister, a crime against humanity, for the medicinal uses of cannabis to be suppressed. Some scientific researchers speculate that cannabinoids play a protective role in the brain, slowing the rate of disease. Ooooops! Who spilled the beans? Scientists and patients all over
the world, that's who!

Senate leadership is sitting on a bill that would establish a national commission to reassess current policy, beginning the process to restore Justice, the guardian of liberty. Congress needs to hear from reformers around the country in support of this bill. Send a message to Senate leadership now!

Sherman Ash Branch, twice convicted of cocaine possession and once for obstructing an officer, killed Georgia County chief deputy Kevin Roberts last Sunday before turning the gun on himself.

"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe" .- Frederick Douglass

Drug war violence is a policy created problem. Our out-of-control drug policies' monetary and environmental costs are staggering and human suffering unconscionable.

Our corrupt, out-of-control policies attract too many of those who want to milk it for all it is worth. I encourage you to make the LEAP, help restore justice! Attract more of those who will make our system run with the milk of human kindness.

Save the children, just say NO to prohibition! How can anyone think drug prohibition makes our children or streets safer?

Stephen H. Frye M.D, retired medical school professor's book exposes facts related to our babies, teens especially, being collateral damage of this demented, violence triggering policy! "We Really Lost This War! Twenty-five Reasons to Legalize Drugs."

Don't believe the propaganda; we wage this war to protect our children! The devastating and deadly facts are our babies; especially teens have become collateral damage in this grossly failed war. The destruction of the sacred family unit is one of the worst consequences prohibition forces on children.

Brutal, bloody prohibition supports despicable people who sell drugs to children, recruit them to sell to their peers and arm them to kill the competition. Despite having six times the Netherlands adult incarceration rate, this insane policy has created an obscene teenage murder rate that's nineteen times higher than in the Netherlands, where drugs are regulated, controlled and taxed!

Only 50 percent of high school students graduate in our ten biggest cities and only 40 per cent graduate in NYC, Baltimore and Detroit. In the Netherlands 92 percent graduate; that's No Child Left Behind!

I am afraid; murderers and other violent predators roam free, while we police nonviolent adult social, medicinal and religious drug use. Across America paramilitary drug raids trigger violence rather than lessen the risk.

The war waged by Mexican drug cartels has resulted in 610 children deaths reports a study and 3,700 children have been left orphans as a result of the violence or execution of their parents. Many minors who are orphaned have been psychologically scarred after witnessing violent actions against their relatives.

The Mexican military reported that 420 children who had been recruited have died in the clashes between rival groups. There were many examples of adolescents between the ages of 14 and 17 dying in fierce battles with the drug traffickers or being tortured and killed as paybacks between feuding clans.

When the mothers of America realized that prohibitionists were making their kids more vulnerable to booze, the Volstead Act was licked! Today minors testify, it is easier to buy pot than alcohol. Mothers of the world will again unit to stop this no less insane, out-of-control version of prohibition; triggering violence in our streets.

The debate over medical marijuana or cannabis is really a scandalous controversy over whether this safe, effective, very easy-to-grow herb should be allowed to compete with dangerous pharmaceuticals and social drugs for pennies on the dollar.

Harassing the sick and dying is an un-American activity! "A whopping 64% of voters’ aged 18 to 34" backed Prop 19 in California because they know it is overkill and morally bankrupt to arrest nonviolent people for making a safer health choice, cannabis or marijuana, compared to other medicinal/social drugs.

Now is the time to insist American warriors addicted to the drug war get their adrenaline rush catching murderers and other violent predators or incarcerating those who sell drugs to children or drive intoxicated.

Regulation, science based education and treating abuse as a medical problem is rational; safer for the individual and society, a better drug policy increasing public safety and harm reduction plus freeing up untold billions in wasted funds to use toward catching more violent and sexual predators or incarcerating more of those morally bankrupt; who sell drugs to children or drive intoxicated.

Use of illegal drugs has increased significantly during the drug war. Use of tobacco has decreased due to truth in education and infomercials about this killer. Educate people with science-based truth and they will make better choices for themselves.

Less than one per cent of the population are actually addicts and drug treatment is at least five times less costly than prison. Restore public safety! Change to ethical policy and show fiscal responsibility! Get tough on DUI, on the morally bankrupt who sell drugs to children and violent crime! Stop this scandalous, detrimental drug war. Restore Justice, the guardian of liberty. Take morally bankrupt profiteers, servants of tyranny, gun control fanatics and racists a step closer to being politically dead bodies.

It is worth repeating, the Spirit of 1776 was the Holy Spirit and is our true North. The real visionaries, who gave birth to this Nation, those who defined what an American patriot would be, were rebels with just cause!

Changing who's in charge will not affect much. The real cause of this huge quagmire of failed policy is the beast, big government, that money hungry beast, Uncle Sam! Ma Freedom tells it like it is! The beauty of it is when we focus on down-sizing our government we regain our roots of self-government and secure the blessings of liberty for future generations and ourselves.
