Lawyers, guns and money

“H. L. Mencken used to say that governments provoked moral panics
and kept people in fear of ‘imaginary hobgoblins’ so they wouldn’t
notice the hand picking their pockets. The main purpose of the Drug
War is to keep us in a state of fear as a way of empowering the
state and its corporate partners in crime. The Drug War is one of
the best expedients ever hit on for that purpose: it has resulted in
unprecedented militarization of local police forces, turned the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments into toilet paper, and generally
done more to promote authoritarianism in American society than
anything but the two world wars and the so-called ‘War on
Terror.’” (01/19/10)

Jeeez, it's only your sister, man!
