Flower child fascism: boomer drug war "warping our society"

"Encouraging in any manner whatsoever children to turn-in family members to the police for violating the drug laws has an ugly totalitarian aura. It is reminiscent of the similar campaigns in the name of ideological conformity in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Maoist China, which Americans once regarded as an odious practice unique to police states. That it occurs at all in the United States is an alarming indicator of how the concept of a 'war' on drugs is warping our society. It has no place in an America that values individual liberties--much less to the promotion of 'family values'." "Collateral Damage: The Wide-Ranging Consequences of America's Drug War" Cato Institute
