Seriously -- and beating out the War on Drugs was no small feat.
I'm still amazed there are people who will rage over welfare yet support locking up people for drug use. Prison is the most expensive form of welfare out there.
Of course, we all know why things like this happen. When people are scared and insecure they tend to suspend some of their critical thinking skills. This makes marketing a "solution" to them a lot easier and politicians take advantage of this all the time. The result is bad policy and infringement on our constitutional rights.
