Eric,
The drug war has easily "killed thousands of our fellow
citizens"; many thousands - every year for about forty years. Try
"thinking" about it.

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

You know Mark, I could almost agree with you. If crazed DEA
Agents
(or even Colombian Drug Lords) all of a sudden were hijacking jet
planes and flying them into the Sears Tower in Chicago and the
Library Building in LA, and the White House in Washington, DC,
killing thousands of our fellow citizens, then I'd gladly be at
your
side shouting, "The Drug War is just as big of a threat to our
civil
liberties as Muslim Terrorism."
