It's a reality for the left. Mao Tse Tung executed anyone caught with drugs when he came to power. He didn't want that crap destabilizing the country in the manner that had previously brought him into power.

Singapore routinely executes anyone caught with drugs, and this policy has worked out pretty well for them.

You can continue your love affair with the far left - I prefer the system of limited government established by our Founding Fathers.

We did not take profits away from criminals, we made them respectable.

Some were driven out of the alcohol market and some went legit - sounds like a win either way.

The ones who were driven out? The mobsters? They're still here and worse than ever.

Mexican Cartels. Running a trillion dollar industry.

So how is this a "win" in your book?

No you don't. You just try to hide behind them to disguise your anarchist ideas. Free speech does not mean pornography. Freedom does not mean drugs.

You distort and malign the ideas they stood for.

So you see no ill consequences from having immoral people like the Kennedy's legitimized? It's not like they did anything horrible to our form of government or anything, right?

Yeah, we need more criminal minded people to gain power and control in business and government instead of stomping on them when they are little cockroaches.
