Oh, let us not forget the movie Zeitgeist. Anything that brings lots of money will be done, that's for sure, even declaring war, which brings the funds for everything..even for something as big as Cliffside.

I couldn't agree more after so many years, so much money there is nothing to show for with the drug war and it's ineffectiveness, drugs continue to pour into the country and people haven't stopped using them, the drugs are available, the people are addicted, laws, and jail haven't stopped people from using. If the drug war was a company spending so much and doing so little it surely would suffer from their share holders, unfortunately we dont have a choice as to what our tax dollars go towards. Education about the dangers of drugs needs to start at an earlier age and to drive home the point on their dangers kids should be taken to any local drug rehab to have addicts talk to them about how dangerous drugs are.
