Tell me, people of esreality, what it means when your own government has levied war against you? In the United States, we have what is called the 'War on Drugs'. Now, because it isn't war when one side doesn't fight back, and because drugs are inanimate and therefore cannot possibly fight back, the name 'War on Drugs' is incorrect. To be correct, you would have to rename it the 'War on Drug-Users'. Treason in the United States is defined as levying war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to its enemies. Considering the fact drug-users are United States citizens, how it is anything but treason for the U.S. government to levy war against United States citizens? Is it possible to argue there is some difference between levying war against the United States and levying war against the people of the United States? Would anyone advocate it is somehow ok for the government to levy war against the people of the United States? Would it be ok for the government to levy war against any kind of United States people, or only the kinds bigots deem worthy? Maybe the government could levy war against homosexuals, or blacks, or Jews, or cigarette smokers... long as the government does not technically levy war against 'the United States', it is perfectly ok for the United States government to levy war against anyone or anything else?

Exactly how did the 'War on Drugs' get started, why was it allowed, and why do people allow its continuance?
