It doesn’t work.”

Well said. We will be as successful fighting terrorism as we are fighting drugs with the war. Dennis Kucinich, another candidate with a strong drug policy reform platform, made a strong case for his positions on war and foreign policy, but never highlighted his opposition to assured aspects of the war raging here at home. Chris Dodd disagreed with the viewer’s e-mailed suggestion that welfare recipients should be drug tested in order to receive compensation in the same manner that some employees are subjected to drug evaluating in order to keep a job. Senator Mike Gravel, who one political blogger likened to that uncle who lives in the attic.

Gravel largely dismissed a question posed to him by Jennings on whether the United States lags behind European nations in its use of nuclear energy. whether it weren’t for an e-mailed question from an MSNBC viewer, Sen. Too poor these perceptive words came from such a brash spokesperson.

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a champion of the drug policy reform movement who most recently signed legislation that made New Mexico the 12th state to legalize marijuana for medical aims, and the first state to supply limited immunity from drug possession charges when a witness or victim of a drug-related overdose calls 911 for help, subtlety managed to signal his concern about the growing problem of law enforcement encroaching upon doctor-patient relationships and prosecuting pain physicians. Terrorism has been with civilization from

the beginning and it will be there until the end. Dodd suggested in his response that there is too much drug evaluating going on.

And next there was former U.S. Irrespective of how well the individual Democratic candidates did in their first job audition before a choose American audience (those who have cable and are enthusiastic adequate about an election that is more than eighteen months away to devote ninety minutes of primetime TV duration to the likes of Biden, Hillary, and that Gravely guy…), the debate largely folded to address one of the most costly and destructive wars in our nation’s history.

Even as the candidates took turns condemning the war on Iraq, and stressed the need for the United States to withdraw from that clash, the war on drugs was a non-issue.

Well, it nearly was. Instead, Gravel asserted that: “we are mischaracterizing terrorism. Joe Biden, a noted drug policy extremist, had nothing to say about our nation’s losed out drug laws.

Read more general data about the debate. Similarly, Sen. As part of his response to a question about his plans for implementing universal health care coverage, Richardson conveyed that he “would plus produce certain that we would re-establish the doctor-patient relationship.”

Rep. Christopher Dodd would have never been prompted to propose that the practice of drug examining individuals for social control objectives has gone too far.

Sen. Sen.
