Interviews with Dr. Davis and Senator Litz on Bills 180 & 274

WOW! What a busy day. During my morning show, I interviewed Dr. Nathaniel Davis, Acting Chair of the Political Science Department at Georgetown University. We discussed Bill 180, regarding the President’s plan to, in effect, legalize drugs, taxing them and making them fall under the purview of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This will certainly pose a problem for several agencies, least of which the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Dr. Davis felt people will continue to recreate with the type of drugs that cause a feeling of euphoria, such as the new dangerous drug, Frenzy. As I discussed in my morning show, Frenzy is a synthetic and cheap drug in tablet form that is said to be “better than cocaine." By legalizing such drugs through the FDA, the President expects to increase the federal revenue by $5 billion annually. It does not appear he took into account the number of field agents who would be required to test substances to see if the drugs in question are legal or not. He also didn't take into account the millions of poor people dependent on medications for diabetes, heart conditions, etc. which they will now have to pay taxes on as a result of this Bill. While the President’s plan might reduce the number of new inmates due to drug infractions, I suspect there will be a renewed entrepreneurial spirit among drug dealers – illegal manufacture and bribery, possibly even copyright fraud with manufacturers' symbols. BREAKING NEWS: 3 violent deaths have been attributed to the use of Frenzy recently. In the first case, a 20-year old New Jersey woman jumped from her dorm room to her death around 30 minutes after taking the drug. An 18-year old man drove his car into the wall of an expressway underpass at reckless speed in Chicago. He had taken Frenzy at a suburban party less than an hour before the accident. And another man, a 19-year old was electrocuted after jumping into electrical wires by climbing up an electrical pole. None of the cases were ruled as a suicide. It appears that in each case, the victims developed a false and unrealistic sense of self-confidence after taking the drug Frenzy.

Dr. Davis also took my questions about Bill 274 as it related to the increased violence against the homosexual community lately. Dr. Davis did not necessarily see a direct connection between the proposal of the bill and the series of crimes. Rather, he felt the media might be paying more attention to these crimes due to the timing of the bills. I asked Dr. Davis about the Litz factor – since she is a Republican from Alaska and was the bipartisan vote that allowed the Senate to pass the Bill. He stated Litz represents an eclectic group of people and this vote was not all that radical. As far as any backlash against Litz in Congress, it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I was given an exclusive interview with Senator Litz about the controversy surrounding this topic. She said that she was persuaded to vote in favor of the Bill after listening to what other Senate members had to say. She said she, “voted what she thought was best.” When asked about any connection to the crimes against homosexuals we’ve heard about in various news agencies recently, she responded: “I can’t connect the crimes to the Bill. And if we stop discrimination, maybe these types of crimes won’t happen again.” She iterated that she tries to see the views of her constituency and society in general when she casts her votes.
As I was listening in on the House’s discussion of bills today, it seems there is strong support to pass Bill 274 there as well. Possibly the news of the bombing of a gay nightclub in Oregon last night increased the attention of the House. Three 3 men were killed and 22 injured. There was a note close by the scene with the biblical verse, “The wages of sin are death.” This same phrase was used in the recent murder of two homosexual men in New York City. In a statement from the White House, analyses are currently being done on the messages in both attacks. Federal agents are looking into the Oregon incident as a copycat crime, believing there is no relationship between the two crimes.

I’d also like to mention two important topics I’ll be discussing tomorrow: The Shell Oil crisis in Nigeria and the INS sick-out situation. I enjoy your comments so please keep them coming.

P.S. I heard that President Millworth has been under the weather. And rumor has it Representative Kilpatrick broke her foot in a skiing accident. We at National Cable Television News wish them both a speedy recovery.
