And many who profess faith

And many who profess faith in God find it
Just to despise one evil and cheer another, so we
Pray for the time when the few who cry for life
Become many, and mass murders, a thing of the past.

This War on Drugs will Fail

This war on drugs will fail because it is founded on the wrong principles.

Human life is expendable.
Human rights are only for the law-abiding.
The ends justify the means.

Due process is a technicality that can be flouted.
Fear is a rightful tool for law enforcement.
Severity of punishment deters crime.
The rule of law is binding only when it serves prevailing doctrine.
Those who oppose the war are to be counted as enemies.
Ethics and faith are irrelevant to the issues at hand.
The death of innocents is acceptable collateral damage.
