Spring Break
Christ to speak on war on drugs tonight

Issue date: 4/22/09 Section: News
Former police officer Peter Christ will speak at 7:30 tonight in the Michael Schwartz Center auditorium.
Christ is a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, an organization against drug prohibition, and is an advocate against the war on drugs.
The event is sponsored by the Kent chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy. The organization is trying to pass a good Samaritan policy on campus that will allow students to contact authorities in an emergency without fear of getting in legal trouble if they possess drugs.
Chris Wallis, junior photojournalism major and president of the group, said the speech will give a different viewpoint on the war on drugs.
"I think a lot of people are going to realize that police officers, even though their job is to lock up criminals, they also realize the drug war is a waste of money," Wallis said.

Does this mean that Christ has finally made his long awaited second coming? Does the current condition of the human race and the world today mean that He hasn't managed to get being a Messiah right this time either? Does this feel like the Messianic Era to any of you? Keep the faith, self-deluders. (Continued…)

If Christ saves
Then he better save himself
From the gory glory-seekers
Who take his name in death
Christ is in the house, and he's coming to collect some dues!
