Gives a good assessment of our current drug war and the violence which our laws have created. Full of disturbing facts and, in my opinion, does not go far enough in stating the obvious--our drug war is an abysmal failure which is literally destroying our neighbors culture, our society and our already decimated planet.

Anyone who would argue that this WAR is working has an ulterior motive or is completely oblivious to the reality of the situation. Watch this video, then call your local Congressman and ask him/her to explain why our lawmakers have done nothing to resolve this worsening situation. Getting rid of bad policy should be the first order of business if our government really wants to help the economy...
