MONEY FOOLISHLY TOSSED AWAY

To the editor:

The drug war can not be won. It can only be managed.

America spends more money on prisons to house non-violent working 
tax-paying people, than they do on spending on colleges. This is not a good 
investment for Americans.

The drug war is only a tool for racial disparity that puts more minorities 
behind bars, though most drug users are white.

The U.S. will become like the former Soviet Union, and will probably become 
bankrupt in the future.
