(Looks around.) Anyone?

I didn't think so.
The fact that the war has failed isn't news, but the fact that senior figures are finally acknowledging it is, I think.

They had a debate on the radio about this today and someone came up with the old Einstein quote to describe TWOD: "The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I had to agree. Now, one more try at drinking myself sober... :tea:

Yet another giant stain on the planet created by the good 'ol usa. "War" on drugs is bullshit, the americans use this as an excuse to keep poor black men in prison, to strengthen their police state, to interfere in other countries politics, to control the behavior of it's citizens and the citizens of the world, and as a giant money making scheme for the cia, the prison industry, the military, etc.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

World leaders report that fire is, indeed quite hot.

Oh... that might explain the terrible burn that mysteriously appeared on my hand at about the same time I fished a stray steel rod out of my gas forge. Who'd've thought it!

I would guess you may have realized that, in fact, all I am doing is pushing your buttons. Only thing, I really don't think you're smart enough to catch on. :fp:
