Vote Ron Paul 2012! Sorry Obama, you've lost my vote. You're a god damned puppet.

More evidence that this man has a highly inflated regard for the effectiveness of rhetoric to bring about so called "change". There is no such thing as a government program which effectively "shrinks demand" in the way which he professes. People in a free nation will inevitably have their desires, as it is much the reason that despite massive campaigns against smoking, it remains one of the most profitable industries in the world. Legalization and regulation could cut our losses over night.

This is one thing that he and the USA is full of shit. It has to do more with mental health and legalizing "soft drugs". Less to do with just alcohol.

Changing attitudes how? By beating the shit out of them and forcing them in prisons without due process and/nor a fair trial?

Sorry Obama. I believed in you in 2008. I trusted you, and all you've done is made things worse. You have a very limited idea (though I'm sure you think you know it all) of what support you would garner by favoring legalization.
