--John Ehrlichman
Dan Baum uses that quote (in a piece he wrote for Harpers' last year) as a way of illustrating his points on the failure of "The War On Drugs", and to boost his argument on how we could be doing it a whole lot better.
Duly noted, but Ehrlichman's quote is almost text-book Daddy State, and a very nice window into the soul of the wingnuts who just can't stop trying to rule; and to dominate; to do exactly the things they accuse the Lefties of trying to do. And that brings us around (again) to one of the main tactics of "the right" - Every accusation is a confession.
So, again: History doesn't really repeat itself - but it sure as fuck rhymes.
