How Wrong Can The DEA Be? Read On.....

Unbelievable! This guy is talking about drugs as if they are the Black Plague itself. Or AIDS! How is it that it completely escapes this dude that it is they themselves who are destroying the vast majority of peoples lives.

Yes, I know. Before anyone starts, some people cannot handle certain drugs. I know. But like alcohol, many can, some can't. Unlike alcohol, these people want to make sure that everyone, absolutely everybody who does illegal drugs' life is devastated. Needlessly! Why can't they see that? Bizarre....(shakes head)

Anyhow. I sent the above two paragraphs to the link provided and I received this back.

We will not publish your wire because there is no evidence or case histories that support you. We have yet to learn the name of a single person who is addicted to cocaine, heroin or meth and who is also leading a productive life.

I responded;

"That is simply not true. History is replete with individuals, men of great stature who used drugs that have since been made illegal. There are many individuals now who do illegal drugs and are leading productive lives, albeit incognito. I would provide you with the names of such, but you would merely move on them, destroy their lives, then hold them up as proof of your initial observation. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy on your part, not the cause and effect of drug use.

If I give you names of historical figures, will you publish them? If I give you names of living individuals, will you agree and publish the fact that they are "doing just fine, thank you very much?"

To which I received a response I should have presumed to be coming, and not even bothered; In short, they stuck their heads in the sand while firing off a not so veiled threat.
