Consider this editorial, written by the editorial board of The Denver Post:
"President Barack Obama has requested more than $14 billion to fund the drug war at the federal level in 2009. State and local enforcement costs drive that figure far higher.
Year after year, a few hundred thousand people end up in court and prison as a result of drug crimes. Our overcrowded prisons are just one reason to take another look at some of our drug laws.
Granted, there are still many dangerous drugs out there. Highly addictive drugs like methamphetamine or crack cocaine swept through our nation's cities and suburbs and rural communities like epidemics.
But legions of studies have shown that marijuana isn't addictive.
And as recent U.S. presidents have shown, use of the drug, even when inhaled, doesn't in and of itself ruin a person's chance at achieving full and productive lives. Yes, pot users face risks as potentially as devastating as other drugs. So do drinkers of wine and beer."
Watch this well-produced video (obviously) designed to cut down John McCain. The video combines pseudo Sesame Street effects with clips of McCain stammering and foozling.I think its crazy how YouTube videos can be so powerful. Anybody who watches this video will walk away with a slightly more negative impression of John McCain.That got me thinking, is this the most politically damagin YouTube video ever made? If you disagree, please post the video that you think is the best.
The difference between ethics and morals can seem somewhat arbitrary to many. Is it possible to define the difference in 25 words or less?Vote for the argument that pegs it the best!
