Welcome to Citiwire.net! For years I’ve been one of a small group of journalists/commentators vainly urging a fresh look at the United States’ irrational, counterproductive “war on drugs.” The impacts of this “war” –from turning some inner-city neighborhoods into criminal hell holes to packing prisons with minor offenders–are all abhorrent. Thus this week’s column on the 75th anniversary of the last big prohibition repeal, and the need to repeat it… The Citiwire.net piece, by our Citistates Associate Bill Dodge, raises a key question posed by events of 2008–Have we finally closed America’s “greenfields frontier” of the past half century? Are we ready for a new, more sustainable “frontier”?
