Whether the government declares a war on poverty <br />or drugs; homelessness or mortgage fraud; terrorism <br />or imperialism, “The People” are always the losers <br />and when “The People” lose; the war then becomes a war <br />without a victory. <br />There is no point to a war without a victory…. <br />There is no end to something that cannot be exterminated <br />by killing it…and therefore there is no victory for a government <br />that deprives its people of their freedom… <br />And that includes the freedom to be irresponsibly doped up and broke… <br /> <br />2008 ©<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/federalist-brand-rolling-papers-go-up-in-smoke/
