High Country News article “Charles Bowden on The War Next Door“
This isn’t something I planned on writing about, nor referring to, but I found this article disturbing. As an “Old Fart,” I’ve been observing our so-called “War on Drugs” (WOD) for over 40 years. I must say… it doesn’t appear that we’ve made much, if any, progress over that time period. I had primarily noticed that I hadn’t seen much news lately on the WOD (until I saw this article).
I don’t know… seems to me it’s time we try something else… no matter how ‘off the wall’ it is.
Anyway’s… Wikipedia has a nice write-up on the WOD here. There’s even a “WOD Clock” website. Amazing…
