We have confirmed it, Ted Nugent is an idiot
Low and behold, a news article from my very own local paper has dropped into my lap today. Funny that the subject involves the drug war since I notice I’ve been posting quite a few articles about the subject lately. The article is entitled Ted Nugent: We could be winning the war on drugs.
Mr Nugent isn’t too big on drugs it seems, and he cannot grasp the concept that drugs aren’t going away. The reality of it is, he is in support of a war against our own people, instead of hitting the cartels where it hurts by taking away their market. The two main drugs that cartels make their money from are marijuana and cocaine, in that order with marijuana providing significantly more. I don’t advocate using cocaine and it isn’t wise to use it, but if used in a controlled manner, it can be “safe”. Marijuana on the other hand, is very safe. Safer than alcohol.
If we legalize these two drugs, we win the war against the drug cartels and Mexico will finally become a stable nation. To think that one of the world’s most unstable nations is right in our own backyard, yet all of our focus is in the Middle East. Also with legalization, use of other, far worse drugs, would significantly drop as people now have legal alternatives to turn to besides just tobacco and alcohol.
We also stop conducting the war on our own people, which will ease our overcrowded prison populations. There’s no reason to put a person in prison for any extended period of time for committing a victimless crime.
It is apparent that Ted Nugent just doesn’t get it, and likely won’t ever get it. That’s a good starting reason for why he wasn’t chosen for the job of “Drug Czar”.
On a side note, Ted Nugent is also a local business owner, namely Lone Star Music which sells band equipment and instruments. If you are a local, I suggest not patronizing Mr Nugent, not just because of his stance on the war on drugs, but also due to the poor quality of service from his business, and the outrageous prices they charge. I’d recommend Backstage Pass for all of your musical needs.
