Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson wrote an awesome book that chronicled his "awakening," if you will, titled, From Rage to Responsibility . The book reminds me of David Mamet's book, The Secret Knowledge, in that he and Peterson simply stopped taking Leftist ideology as unquestionable truth. Because they saw first hand the misery and havoc Leftist policies wreak on American culture and the destruction of the individual, as well as the high the cost to people when they play the "blame game." These two men know the price paid for even daring to question "Liberal Orthodoxy." Hmm... no wonder Leftisits and Islamists get along so well. [Commenter Victora Hernandez]

HempLast week saw the 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition. In Washington, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) - a group of former cops and drug-war veterans who have soured on America's war on drugs - gathered to celebrate the anniversary, and to argue for an end to America's current prohibition on marijuana and more serious drugs. Essentially, they believe that the war on drugs creates criminals. Richard Van Wickler, a onetime New Hampshire county corrections superintendent, noted during a LEAP conference call last week that despite America's drug laws, 114 million Americans (out of more than 300 million) have used illegal drugs, 35 million of them in the last year. The law is not much of a deterrent.
