How the War on Drugs Corrupts the Warriors
It's an old story that the incredible profits created by banning something so many people wants makes the war on drugs a machine for corrupting law enforcement personnel.
But the old story plays on, as in Arizona ". . . more than 40 soldiers, airmen, border guards and correctional officers took bribes from FBI agents posing as cocaine smugglers."
Pat Schneider, the top federal criminal prosecutor in Arizona, said he doesn't know whether government corruption is getting worse or it just seems that way because more public servants are getting caught.
That's reassuring! Just like the Tulia, TX story from a couple years ago (see the book).

I haven't been up to anything today. I don't care. I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. Basically not much happening right now. Maybe tomorrow. I guess it doesn't bother me.

Basically nothing noteworthy happening right now, but eh. Today was a complete loss. I haven't been up to much recently. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning.

Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. I haven't been up to much these days. I just don't have much to say right now. I can't be bothered with anything , but whatever.
