"The DEA" isn't some kind of independent entity. They are in theory responsible to the people, but all too often act as if they aren't. Folks need to wise up and realize the proven problems with the Federal regulatory state, even when it backs their chosen biases. The Fed's powers need to be cut back to their enumerated powers and responsibility returned to state and local governments, whose elected and appointed officials are more easily reached with tar and feathers as needed.
