Isn't it silly for the government to ban anything that it cannot prove has any harmful effect on anyone, while allowing many products on the market (e.g., nutrasweet, not to mention any number of over-the-counter drugs), despite well-known dangers to some segments of the population?

Isn't it silly for the federal government to say that its interstate commerce power extends even to production and commerce that happens entirely within a single state?

Isn't it silly for the government -- at least the federal government -- to dictate what grown men and women can and cannot choose to put into their own bodies?

Isn't it silly that a government created to secure the rights of people to make their own decisions about their own lives ("freedom") now rules over the people with an iron fist in silly cases like these?

Isn't it silly that the people don't exercise their power to sweep the most rabid drug war supporters from office and put in their place people with some common sense and respect for the rights of individual citizens to determine their own destiny?

Are you registered to vote? Will you vote in the upcoming elections? Will you be as dedicated to ousting politicians who support the out-of-control war on drugs (and replacing them with people who acknowledge that you are the boss of your own life), as you are to finding out where to get a decent cup of coffee?
