"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the Prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.

"I would say that all wars play a direct part in the growth of Defense Contractors procuring contracts. That's the function of these small wars, to foster multi-billion dollar military weapons assembly lines, and to keep them humming. That is their function. There is no such thing as 'drug-sponsored terrorism', it's 'money-sponsored terrorism.'" -- Dan Russell
"Stupidity is a brain-disease, like governmental arrogance, the 'War on Drugs', laissez-faire capitalism or professional wrestling." -- Ken Gage
