You may be missing the tie-in of those that profit from the drug problem using the drug problem to ramp up the war on drugs and acquire even more power that will be misused/abused.

Then again, I might be paranoid, but you state yourself; “Right now the process is corrupt, top to bottom. Politicians, journalists, bankers, lawyers, bureaucrats, judges, police, parents, users, and even teachers. They all profit one way or another.”

Just where and how do you crack that egg to make an omelet. Where to start, without total violent civil war?

Singapore is a nation of laws.

Singapore is a repressive regime whose subjects enjoy nothing remotely like our constitutional liberties. Advocating that we be more like them is the opposite of a conservative position.

Apparently you aren’t familiar with doing business in this country. It seems you your views of other nations are tainted as well. Government regulation has made it VERY difficult to start a business in the US.

Singapore ranks 7, and the US has been steadily dropping to 14, for best countries to do business in. Governments role is not to regulate businesses they know nothing about, they are supposed to ensure justice, and protection of it’s citizens.

So in your view the only Constitutional liberties worth worrying about are the directly business-related ones? If so, I also wouldn't consider that a conservative position.
