shouldn't have a "stance" to change except the one the People have enacted. Maybe declare a War on Bad Cops for a couple decades ? Maybe a War on Boatloads of Heroin that enter our ports daily ?  Or a War on Doctors who are medicating low income children with amphetamines, barbituates and experimental psychotropic drugs priming them all for their subsequent lock up?
