Yes, dear friends, pure, simple, water is yet another casualty of the War on Drugs. (Biden discovered that the kids like to drink the notorious substance when they get high on Ecstacy and work up a sweat dancing, so his bill treats water as "drug paraphernalia.")
But if we're lucky, night club owners just might be allowed to turn the bathroom faucets back on! Or even (gasp) sell bottled water!
Talk about going soft on the war on drugs! And just when we were winning?
In an earlier blog, I said that I never thought I would see the day when I would have to advocate such a thing as this -- and I will dare to advocate it again right here:
End the Culture War now. Restore Classical Values.
Legalize water.
Where else can you find a free country which passes legislation declaring war on: speech, association, and.... on WATER?
"The Drug War must be fought on all fronts."
Even the, er, water front?
Here here!
(Or, to pinch a favorite phrase from a favorite blogger Don Watkins, "No, seriously.")
UPDATE: Speaking of getting serious, did you know that Roman citizens were allowed to petition the Emperor? Outrageous as the idea sounds, American citizens are (at least I think they are) still allowed to write to Senator Biden.
