legislation, probably making highway

*    
*   About three million teenagers will seek driver's licenses each year and
*   therefore be tested for drugs. At a rate of one-percent false positives,
*   30,000 completely clean kids will fail their drug tests. They will be
*   denied driver's licenses. How will their parents react? Many kids are
*   likely to be emotionally scarred by the false accusations of drug use,
*   and some may even attempt suicide out of their shame.

Thank you very much Free World Leaders for that intelligent discourse on
marijuana. What would we do without you? We love being your lemmings. Keep
beating the Drums so we can march into your ocean of insanity.


"Zero Tolerance" is an extremely dangerous attitude to have regarding crime.

Zero Tolerance by definition means excessive vigilancy.


#   "War on Drugs Runs Up Against the 4th Amendment"
#   By Tony Mauro, USA Today
#   
#   J. LeWayne Kelly went to the Austin, Texas, airport two months ago.
#   
#   But because he's black, dressed casually and wore expensive cowboy boots,
#   he soon was surrounded by strangers---police who suspected him of being
#   a drug courier.
#   
#   Mr. Kelly had gone to the airport only TO PICK UP A FRIEND.
#   
#   He felt numb, agreed to be searched because he didn't want to get beaten.
#   
#   Kelly tried an experiment. He had a white friend WEAR THE SAME OUTFIT he
#   had worn that day and retrace his steps at the airport.
#   
#   Police gave the friend not even a glance.
#   
#   His lawyer filed a class-action suit in a Texas state court.
#   
#   "The Supreme Court has hobbled the Fourth Amendment so much that I
#   never even thought about filing in Federal court."


A major foobar in Zero Tolerance mania occurred
when the government seized a ship over a couple joints.

The government had seized the ship from itself.
