Dr. Duster, for the record, why is it critical that we understand the war on drugs as it relates to social progress and perhaps social policy?
    Troy Duster: People often get trapped into the immediacy of the drug war. They believe that the police are the bad (…)

    Fed Up With War, Some Won’t Pay Taxes
    by John Christoffersen
    NEW HAVEN, Conn. - When the United States invaded Iraq more than four years ago, war opponent David Gross asked his bosses for a radical pay cut, enough so he wouldn’t have to pay taxes to support the war.
    “I was having a hard time looking at myself in the mirror,” Gross said. “I knew the bombs falling were in part paid with my tax dollars. I had to actually do (…)
