The Pilot has an editorial today on the whole Riddick situation. They get it wrong, and end up hypocrites at the same time.
The editorial staff of the Pilot has no problem with class warfare. Otherwise, they’d take the inititive to criticize the other politicians for whom it is bread and butter. John Edwards may well be the Democrat nominee for Vice President. Class warfare is the only thing he offers. Yet, nary a peep from the Pilot on Edwards or Democrat politicians like him. Think I’m kidding? How many times do you hear phrases like “the weathiest one percent,” or “middle-class health care?”
They also get the solution wrong. The problem is not the drug dealers. Government can’t keep drugs out of jails, much less off the street. The insane war on drugs is the reason you have incidents like the one at Military Circle. It’s time to legalize all drugs and end this battle in the streets between merchants who provide what people want, and the police who follow the orders of the politicians.
