POPSThe side effects of Ritilin "How many future Beethovens, Thomas Jeffersons, Ernest Hemingways, Martin Luther Kings and Maya Angelous are we currently drugging into stupors in our schools and nation? Men and women of greatness are probably the least likely to sit still and do the normal schoolwork directed at the average student. How many non-drugged kids would have never become famous, but would have been able to hold a job at Wal-Mart, get married, have kids, go bowling, collect the next Beanie Babies, attend church, and enjoy life but are now doomed to become drug addicts, felons, and just plain psychotic?"

POPSWar On Drugs Gets Crazier and Crazier It is remarkable that there are states who still look to prosecute pregnant women who happen to be drug addicts. Addiction is an illness; a treatable illness. I have never met a drug addict who is happy to be such. Instead of financing the phony war on drugs by locking up and prosecuting addicts, why not use some of that enormous amount of money on building more treatment centres and financing research into additional treatment measures for this illness? It's the perfect blame the victim mentality that some members of our society seems to thrive on.
