PROHIBITION'S GOTTA GO

A Holocaust denier is someone who refuses to admit that the Nazis
killed six million people, despite solid, indisputable and
overwhelming evidence to prove that it did, in fact, happen. The
notion is regarded to be about as sensible as asserting that the Earth
is flat.

When it comes to the topic of drug prohibition vs. regulation, this
so-called "Conservative" government is literally no better than
Holocaust deniers!

The Tories, police, churches, and anyone else who supports drug
prohibition, are refusing to admit to the solid, indisputable truth:
Like alcohol prohibition in the last century, drug prohibition is a
colossal failure. It subsidizes gangsters, costs a fortune, increases
danger and gets bigger the more we fight it. Prohibition is ruining
society, but they still insist that it must not only continue, but
increase.

Despite decades of solid evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a
doubt that prohibition actually makes a bad problem worse, they refuse
to admit it. It is completely, utterly, Alice-In-Wonderland-ly absurd.

Stephen Harper, Vic Toews, Stockwell Day and most of the top brass of
Canadian law enforcement are either so blinded by religious or
quasi-moralistic ideologies that they refuse to see the facts--or they
are deliberately misleading and endangering the Canadian public.
Either way, they are a clear and present danger to our safety, and
they have got to go! And so do these gangster-subsidizing prohibition
laws.
