Children on Drugs

Abstract

Whenever a politician wants to rouse the public to champion a policy all he or she has to do is invoke the name of children: “it’s all about the children†; “it’s for our children,†“it’s to protect the children.†There is a lot of hypocrisy and disingenuousness attached to such an invocation, as poverty and the lack of health care - two of the most manifest endangerments to children - seem to be perennially ignored. Likewise, if one wishes to provoke intense public scrutiny all one has to do is mention children and drugs in the same sentence. If they are so juxtaposed, then the link between them had better emphasize their contrast and conflict.
