The British state already invests in early intervention campaigns in drug abuse and sexual health. Challenging extremism should be no less of a priority.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our state's strategy on methamphetamine, and any other issue, is going to be a moving target.
Our communities face many challenges, from keeping our kids safe in public, to the war on terrorism. But few have such immediate consequences as we face from methamphetamine.
I think the first decade of this century is going to be remembered as a time of extremism.
We think there should be a better countering-violent-extremism effort, that there should be a lead agency tasked to handle that.
We cannot hope to effectively counter extremism if we just focus on schools, universities and prisons: we need to take this online as well.
If you support the war on drugs in its present form, then you're only paying lip-service to the defense of freedom, and you don't really grasp the concept of the sovereign individual human being.
Although our war on drugs must be fortified with the best laws, enforcement efforts and resources, we would not be successful without your individual commitment to this cause.
Once brave politicians and others explain the war on drugs' true cost, the American people will scream for a cease-fire. Bring the troops home, people will urge. Treat drugs as a health problem, not as a matter for the criminal justice system.
By bringing about a rational drug policy, we'd be freeing up a lot of resources for real crime. Drug disputes would get played out with courts rather than with guns. So it would make this country a much better place overnight.
We want to continue the efforts against domestic violence and spread the drug courts, and develop real effective means of providing treatment for drug abusers without having to have them arrested.
