| NinjaguyDan said: Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. I can think of no better way to describe the WOD. It's time to try something different and more compatible with the ideals America is supposed to stand for. |

The war on drugs could not be a more miserable failure. Its easier for young people to get pot than alcohol. If we are gauging our success rate in the war on drugs by the amount of drugs that have infiltrated this country there is only one answer. That we have not only failed, but failed miserably.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
