“I can’t help but laugh every time I read an account in the mainstream press about how a big drug kingpin has just been killed or captured. Mainstream-press reporters and editorial writers get so excited over the death or capture that they become almost giddy. Their mindset is: ‘Finally — finally! — we are making progress in the drug war!’ Why do I laugh when I see that? Because it is so dumb — so idiotic. How can anyone really buy into this nonsense? I figure it’s a real testament to public schooling’s ability to adversely affect people’s minds. … No killing or capture of any drug lord ever means — or will ever mean — the end of the drug war. It will just keep going on and on.” (02/23/26)
