A1: "Prescott Valley mayor announces new narcotics unit"

PV is assigning two officers as a new narc team. The Courier breathlessly characterizes this as "War on Drugs" in a shouter headline and the lead. Pathetic.

The subject of addressing the social problems related to illegal drug use, distribution and production deserves an adult conversation about reality rather than mindless rhetoric.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
