We are all paying too high a price to build expensive prisons being filled by mostly non-violent drug offenders. Our money is not being used wisely. These unfortunate souls are not being rehabilitated; they are being given up on. Our faith in the possibilites of humanity is fading. Everyone on this planet Earth must know that this "War on Drugs" will NEVER be won. Today's prohibition is only providing us with casualties and prisoners of war at taxpayers' expense! New alternatives exist! Creative solutions are right around the corner! Beatric Boltz Iowa City resident - --- MAP posted-by: Kirk Bauer
