Quick. You need help. Desperately. Get out the yellow pages, or do a web
search. Look under "people to tell you what to think."
Don't find it? Maybe it's in the government pages?
Oops. Sorry for the bother. You've already hired someone to tell you
what to think. He's called the Drug Czar. His job, paid for with your
tax dollars, is to tell you what to think about national drug policy.
That's it. That's all. That's what the Drug Czar does. He tells you what
to think.
Aren't you relieved?
As you go about your labors today put a smile on your face. You're
working, in part, to pay for that guy you hired to tell you what to
think about our nation's narcotics laws. Isn't it comforting? Just think
how confused you'd be without that Drug Czar guy to do the heavy mental
lifting for you.
What's that you say? You didn't know you hired someone to do that? You
don't need it? You don't like the name "Czar?" You won't have a smile on
your face as you labor to pay his salary?
Well, perhaps you just need more information. Don't you know that this
guy lobbies state legislatures to keep them from passing drug laws the
federal government doesn't like? And don't you know that this guy works
hard to defeat medical marijuana initiatives, and keep voters from
voting the wrong way? Isn't that worth something to you?
No?
Well, then perhaps you'll want to know that there are some in Congress
who want to fire the guy and close his office. In fact, his job is up
for renewal right now, and there's legislation that would send the Czar
packing. You might want to let your representatives know that you don't
need no stinking Drug Czar. If you feel so moved, you can send your
message here:
