JOSEPH Spear may look forward with relish to a day when half of the
poor and disadvantaged will be prepared by their education only to be
cops and prison guards controlling the other half who will be their
criminals and convicts; I do not.

That is clearly the future we are investing in through futile drug
prohibition and runaway incarceration.
