Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

The great amerikkkan drug excuse...



Why do we accept "drugs" to be the excuse for allowing fuckin police violence?
IF we were REALLY concerned about drugs, the police would be invading pharmaceuticals. Drug companies are the RICHEST corporations in the entire world.
It's a schizophrenic paradigm where we divide drugs and those who are allowed to profit or not from the selling of drugs into "legal" and "illegal". 
Then we give free reign to police to do whatever, even murder and ‘no-knock’ raids that often culminate in murder, against those who fall into the “illegal” category while at the same time enabling wealthy white men and their corporations who fall into that "legal" category, to become very very very rich.
Secondly a person addicted to drugs needs help not violence. A person selling drugs needs a better job that provides a good salary along with increased self-esteem and the opportunity to excel.
And all profit needs to be taken out of the pharmaceutical industry while we are dismantling that institution and creating instead a health care system that REALLY cares about humans and our health.
