A really good talk. Enough to evoke a sense of history from before the war
on drugs and all the bullshit of the Reagan era and how far we have 
fallen...

What wasn't mentioned was the metamorphosis of the war on drugs into the
war on terror which has been conducted on a global scale with nearly the
same social institutionalization of the military into a drug war police 
force.
