72 hours to End the War on Drugs - sign the petition!

[Aukikco]

The Avaaz organization has put up a petition calling for an end on the War on Drugs:

In 72 hours, we could finally see the beginning of the end of the ‘war on drugs’. This expensive war has completely failed to curb the plague of drug addiction, while costing countless lives, devastating communities, and funneling trillions of dollars into violent organized crime networks.

Experts all agree that the most sensible policy is to regulate, but politicians are afraid to touch the issue. In days, a global commission including former heads of state and foreign policy chiefs of the UN, EU, US, Brazil, Mexico and more will break the taboo and publicly call for new approaches including decriminalization and regulation of drugs.

This could be a once-in-a-generation tipping-point moment -- if enough of us call for an end to this madness. Politicians say they understand that the war on drugs has failed, but claim the public isn't ready for an alternative. Let's show them we not only accept a sane and humane policy -- we demand it. Sign the petition and share with everyone -- when we reach 1/2 million, it will be personally delivered to world leaders by the global commission.

At the time of writing, already 439,150 people have signed. Go on and do your part, and spread the word!

It's a noble thought, but it is based on the supposition that they give a shit what we want.


Our 'voice' is falling on deaf ears. Look at the big picture.


The only thing they understand is force, which is what created groups like the weather underground and the like, explaining why otherwise peace-loving hippies were setting fire to offices and planting bombs in governmental builodings in the 60's


They do NOT CARE WHAT WE WANT, anymore than a sergeant 'cares' what his men want. He has to follow 'chain of command'

where EVERYBODY makes their mistake is in the acceptance of the fraudulent premise that we have a REAL TRUE voice in upper-echelon government policy decisions.


we do not


Here in amerikkka we are taught to vote, to 'have our say'

what crap, most americans do not understand what the process is that even ELECTS THE PRESIDENT


I will GLADLY bet anyone here that if you stop 10 americans in the street, the gross majority of them do not know what the electoral college even iS
