I know .. this is old news. I just wan't in the chat circle when Bush was first being elected so didn't get to see all posts regarding this subject. Maybe this irks you as much as it does me.

For years now the government has been ruining the lives of tens of thousands of Americans over the "War on Drugs". I think this is the most hypocritical war ever. Here is the US government taxing alcohol and nicotine but sending people to the slammer and ruining their lives over other drugs that are often benign in comparison to what they are pedelling. This point is really crazy during this administration when one considers that Bush is known to have partied with the yay in his day. It's OK if you are President, but otherwise it'll get you the envionable title of "fellon" ?!? I believe that this is the quintesential definition of "hypocracy".
