Breaking the Taboo
This is a documentary about ending the "War on Drugs" globally. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, which partly makes it worth watching alone. In this film Ex-Presidents of many countries speak on their efforts in fighting the Drug War and how none have succeeded.
Colombia - Drugs fund the Cartels and their kidnapping and guerrilla attacks.
Brazil - Drugs fund the favelas drug lords and their guns.
Mexico - Cartels fight for trafficking routes. Government fighting war against Cartels ends in many deaths of soldiers, polices, cartel members and civilians.
USA - Worlds largest consumer of illegal drugs. Five percent of the world's population. Nearly twenty-five percent of the world's incarcerated. A prison industrial complex. More prisoners than China (They have a BILLION people) think about that for a moment.
Afghanistan - After the war it has become the World's largest producer of Heroin.
Russia - Heroin is the biggest threat out of Afghanistan not Terrorism.
Portugal - Decriminalized ALL DRUGS. Drug user don't go to court when arrested but before a board of social workers and psychologist. They have been doing this for ten years.
Switzerland - AIDs was a problem from needles by Heroin users. They gave free needles and placed health above criminalization.
Holland - Where they sell marijuana in cafes. Also place health before criminalization.
Latin American countries regionally are starting to create their own solutions to the drug problem without the United States.
Nixon declared the "War on Drugs" in the united states. Yet his own commission created federal recommendations.
1. Possession for personal use no longer a criminal offense.
2. Non-profit distribution of small amounts no long a criminal offense.
Under Ford decriminalization almost happened. Ten states began to decriminalize.
Under Reagan it became a cluster f@#k. Put more people in prison and create the "just say no" campaign.
Under President Obama no change in the war on drugs, even though he has said it is a utter failure before he took office.
America learned during Alcohol Prohibition that prohibition didn't work. Yet for some reason believes that drug prohibition is working or will work eventually.
I agreed with much in this film but nothing more than this presented idea. Don't be drug free because it's illegal. Be drug free because it takes away the most important thing you have. The ability to decide, the ability to choose.

LUTHER BBC
I'm looking at my blog and realized, I never wrote anything about the BBC's LUTHER. I apologize to any and all for this. Luther is the best cop drama in a long while. Luther (played by Idris Elba)is basically a genius, which makes you wonder why he is a cop. He may also be a psychopath, so he may be afraid of himself too.
The story is very interesting, especially his relationship with Alice (played by Ruth Wilson) a true criminal psychopath and his best friend.
I won't even try to explain, you just have to watch if you haven't already. The third season is coming up soon. If you haven't watch don't worry the BBC series are usually only 6 - 13 episode long. This show is 4 - 6 episode a season. Its so sad cause it's so damn good. Watch this show if you aren't and prepare for season three if you are. If in America it will be on BBC America so check your local listings.
P.S. I believe the President of the United States and the First Lady watch of this program. Just an interesting fact.

Benjamin Franklin
When I saw this painting/pic I knew I had to place it on my blog. Benjamin Franklin is one of my heroes. The more I learn about this man the more he inspires. I will have to write a blog about him later.
