Mike This truth about Waco thing is causing me to think about the truth about the War on Drugs. Isn't about time we de-criminalize drug use for the most part and address the issue as a social problem. I can't imagine how the cost could be higher in monetary terms. Many in the prison system are bothered by the increasing numbers in their system for drug violations. The systemic damage drug use does to this society is primarily due to the lucrative traffic in these illegal activities. It didn't work with alcohol in the 30's so how can we perceive it will be successful now? Guess this should be a separate thread. Gordon
