war on drugs and everything else you mentioned have to do with the NSA. By the way, I am no fan of Eric Holder. Just saying I am getting tired of hearing people take potshots that won't change anything except possibly help keep people home during mid-term elections and get people who actually support the very things you are so upset about elected. I would actually support a Warren/Saunders ticket in 2016 if I thought they could actually get elected, do you really think so? Look, I'll be brave and say if we are ready for an all out civil war OK. Maybe that's the only think that will really change things. Until then, anything else is just making noise and I really don't want to hear it because it ultimately supports the very things you say you are against. Look for future posts of mine to be sure I have not been hauled off.
