The hypocrisy of how our governments deal with what is essentially a health promotion and education issue is astounding. Have a headache? then take this pill and feel better... want to get smashed off your face and roll around in your own vomit? you go son! spend those dollars and pay your taxes, the government likes the revenue from alcohol and tobacco, helps fill the coffers so they can wage war on the populace who choose to take other substances that alter their mood, perception etc. Those drugs are bad! they make the workforce unproductive costing the economy lots of money that could be spent on other things like... urm a war on drugs! I especially find the Australian governments attitude towards drugs quite flabbergasting, having police with drug dogs at festivals and dance events, patrolling the night clubs of the cross at 3am looking for a handful of people out for a good time with a pinga in their pocket, WOW what incredibly effective use of resources you have going on there Mr PC Plod! What are the overtime rates like for a Sat night at 3am? pretty good I reckon. Until people actually start to question how their governments spend their taxes and say "hold a minute, fuck no! I do not consent to that, I elect you to serve me not the other way around" this bullshit will just continue and the powers of coercion and control will increase as they panic as they see they are fighting a war they will never win and are starting to lose more ground. As the late great Bill Hicks said, "there's a war being fought, and the people on drugs are winning it.
