LIVE-AND-LET-LIVE: Rethinking the War on Drugs - WSJ.com

Rethinking the War on Drugs - WSJ.com

Legalization would work - in particular if much of society would change it's mindset that individuals really aren't responsible for their actions!

The religious right turns to their god-determined (but man designed) views of righteous living. On the left, Obama and the democrats want to provide equally for people whatever their effort, circumstances or initiative and personal values.

A supply and demand society in which people aren't automatically entitled to 'opportunity' and then allowed to live with the consequences of their choices would be much more fair.

Some of the noted efforts to constrain individuals - e.g. the perpetual DUI people - might make sense. Many parts of Europe could well teach America about a kinder live-and-let-live attitude that seems so anathema to both the right and left in the US.
