In the morning when I switch on the computer, I have a default that opens to the MSNBC page. This morning's banner headline announces that the "global war on drugs has failed." Well, no shiit Sherlock. Frankly, it's a matter of will. As a nation we don't have the will to do anything.

Doing any positive action causes 'pain.' You want to look slimmer, then you go to the gym and suffer for a few months and then smaller meals thereafter for the rest of your life. You want a chrome bike, then you tear it apart and dump a lot of disposable income into the project. On the surface this would appear self-evident.

My home state of Wisconsin is a classic example of that "do nothing" mentality. We offer what is known as 'community policing.' That's a quaint phrase for asking the felon if he has your permission to arrest him. They had a shotgun battle in my area's Target parking lot. The topper is that Wisconsinites cannot carry firearms concealed because our former Governor Jimy Doyle said we 'don't need to.' After all, we have the police.

I don't consider those in the drug trade--both sellers and consumers--to be human life. They are danger to safety, a blight on suburban areas, a drain on governmental resources, and a clog to the penal and legal systems. We have to put more of them in the ground. Rehab and counseling has none absolutely nothing during my entire lifetime, and it's time to prune the weeds.

During the 1950s my Dad made a comment on locking his home doors. He said, "As a boy we slept with our doors open and it was Al Capone who needed a secure hide-out. Now it's reverse."

Yikes, what would he call it now? It's time to shoot back. Often, and continuously.
