the drug war

This is a lovely story but no one ever thinks about the shareholders of the pharmaceutical companies. Every night in America thousands of people are terrorized and arrested by local law enforcement fighting the federal governments war on drugs. I've suggested using US Troops against stoned people instead so the COPS can be freed up to fight crime. It's all a matter of the costuming. War is hell regardless of what the uniform looks like. There are millions of Americans rotting in overcrowded prisons. So Americans are being terrorized and incarcerated for the big war on drugs. The thing about Americans is that they are tough. They can take the drive by shootings, they can cope with being terrorized by the COPS. They don't mind spending 25 years away from their families. Americans can handle that. The shareholders of the big pharmaceutical companies can't cope with reduced dividends and the government knows this. If the dividends from the pharma shares is reduced the shareholders won't cope. They may even get depressed. They are not as strong as the average American. I love Americans but they are strong people. I'm desperately worried about the people who own shares in pharmaceutical companies. The poor rich people have very few coping mechanisms and they don't deal with being disappointed. I can't believe how heartless and selfish some people are. Stop worrying about America and think about the shareholders for once just once.
