The per­ti­nent com­ment/con­cept for our de­ba­te to­day was not writ­ten by a cur­rent ad­vo­ca­te for an un­con­di­tio­nal ba­sic in­co­me – it was Fried­rich Schil­ler, a re­now­ned Ger­man phi­lo­so­pher and po­et in the 18th cen­tu­ry.

Understanding the War on Drugs: A Comprehensive Overview
2.568 Words / ~10 pages University of Washington - UW Seattle Pro­fes­sor Eklund - Eng­lish 110 The “War” on Drugs In 1973 Ame­ri­cas pre­si­dent, Ri­chard Nixon, de­clared a “to­tal war against pu­blic en­e­my num­ber one in the United Sta­tes; the pro­blem of dan­ge­rous drugs.” Sin­ce then, the use of drugs in Ame­ri­ca has in­creased ex­po­nen­ti­al­ly, along wi­th the po­ten­cy of the drugs. To­day we curr­ent­ly in­c­ar­ce­ra­te over 1.5 mil­li­on peo­p­le for drug ar­rests, and curr­ent­ly spend over 15 bil­li­on dol­lars com­ba­ting this “war.” It’s ob­vious that our cur­rent po­li­cy isn’t ef­fec­ti­ve, as the amount of nar­co­tics in the coun­try in­crea­ses ye­ar­ly.

To tru­ly un­der­stand this igno­rance we must first ex­ami­ne the mo­ti­ves be­hind it. It’s im­pe­ra­ti­ve that we…[show more]

In mo­dern li­be­ral de­mo­cra­tic count­ries, the sta­te power and po­li­ti­cal par­ties are usual­ly se­pa­ra­ted to pre­vent ab­u­se of power. Ho­we­ver, the po­li­ti­cal sys­tem in Chi­na is com­ple­te­ly dif­fe­rent.
