That's the way the government does it...they call it the war on drugs, but it is a war on end-users, low-level pushers, and the occasional psychotic maniac cartel boss. They do nothing to stop the Coca and Poppies from growing, and have gone so far as to overthrow elected governments in order to install cartel bosses as dictators in order to keep the flow going. Yet when it comes to the users, the same government has a zero-tolerance policy.
Now the war on piracy can begin, so the citizens will now be the enemy in a war waged by the government as well as wars waged by corporations. For a generaly peacefull and often unarmed populous, who pay for the government and these corporations to exist, we sure have a lot of people waging wars against us.

Doubtfull...usualy when someone snaps, they don't have time to fly to Washington DC or Las Angles...usualy they just shoot up their co-workers or family.
