To win a war, one must win the minds of the people (unless one chooses to vaporize said minds with a superweapon instead).
So the next time you step over a crack-addled soul sprawled out on a Tenderloin sidewalk, or dodge a gang of teenagers trying to sell you weed at the Stanyan Street entrance to Golden Gate Park, tell them this:
"It's not my fault -- it's the 'Federal Narcotics Price Support Program!'"
Opponents of the Drug War have long maintained that, just like with alcohol during Prohibition, making drugs illegal makes being a drug lord profitable. Who here would support the "Federal Mexican Drug Cartel Subsidy Program?"
Brush up on these and other euphemisms for the 40-year government struggle against getting high before your next family holiday. A few more, after the jump.
Via The Advocates (who love themselves some small government, which apparently does not include a federally funded fighting force):- Federal Drug Lord Subsidy Program
- Federal Drug Gang Subsidy Program
- Mexican Drug Cartel Subsidy Program
Or
- Prison-Industrial Complex Subsidy
- Border War Welfare Program
- Reason Why We Can't Visit Juarez, Brought To You By Taxpayers
As usual, this is nothing new. But recasting the debate may be one way to win hearts and minds.
