Drug Czar Speaks to Legalizing Marijuana
John Walters, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, discussed the idea of legalizing marijuana this morning on C-Span. You can watch and listen to his 24 minutes of disingenuous (at best) spin in real-time here.
Here's what came to one colleague's mind after viewing it:
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie -- and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State."
-- Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Propaganda Minister
