Is the War on Drugs creating unregulated drug dealer markets in our schools?

The U.S. government’s most recent 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) reported that nationwide over 800,000 adolescents ages 12-17 sold illegal drugs during the previous 12 months preceding the survey. The 2005 Youth Risk Behavior Survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that nationwide 25.4% of students had been offered, sold, or given an illegal drug by someone on school property. The prevalence of having been offered, sold, or given an illegal drug on school property ranged from 15.5% to 38.7% across state CDC surveys (median: 26.1%) and from 20.3% to 40.0% across local surveys (median: 29.4%). –All this despite tens of billions of taxpayer dollars spent on the War on Drugs, which has crippled our public schools by diverting tax dollars from teachers and books to costly security programs, such as random drug testing, campus police and undercover investigators, hallway video cameras and metal detectors, and after-school programs

U.S. soldiers in Iraq suffer their worst week yet for 2008. Do you believe this?

That was a headline on my yahoo home page. Did Yahoo make it sound like our guys are getting their butts kicked? Our guys are winning and yet are presented by the print, tv and internet press as losing. The democrats say we are losing. Is this not the way we left Vietnam. The Tet offensive was a bust for North Vietnam. They suffered heavy losses on every front. It was reported as a major loss for the US. John Kerry accused the US of etrocities. Our guys in the Hanoi Hilton were tortured as Kerry’s words were read to them. After we gave up and left Vietnam when the democrats blocked funding our press failed to fully report what followed. Thousands of Vietnamese were sent to reeducation camps. The communists in Cambodia killed several million cambodians for cooperating with the US. The Killing Fields was the only movie about this halocaust. By giving up blood and treasure we have given these people their first taste of freedom without stealing one quart of oil.
