The question is, how many innocent lives have been damaged by marijuana laws? How many people have died? How many have spent years of their life fighting false charges?

And the "poor doper-victim" argument watzes in, a prelude to the liberal Democrat multi-billion dollar nanny government, "kill 'em with kindness, free medical care, plenty of marijuana 'medicine,' and supplemental special security" policies.

Call it what you will ("socialism" fits). Just don't call it libertarianism.

BTW, should taxpayers be made to provide these poor victimized dolts with reparations? A lot of libertarians believe so. Do you?

What are you smoking that you didn’t get what I said? You entirely misunderstood what I was saying. I’ll try to talk in single syllables so you can follow.

There was a couple in Louisiana, they sold their 100 acres or so to some guy and expected the payments to provide for their retirement. This idiot started growing and dealing and whatever and when *he* got busted, their land, which they still owned and wasn’t paid off yet, was confiscated by law enforcement. They were totally innocent. The only concern of law enforcement was the resources they could steal to enhance their own situation. There was no concern for justice.

The rest of this paragraph is totally off base. I don’t believe that one cent of my federal tax dollars should go to any socialist, redistribution of wealth. I wasn’t saying, ’provide them with dope’ I was saying,

Instead of wasting resources stopping spoiled little brats of movie directors from killing themselves shooting heroin, doing crack, burning out on meth, let them die, and put your resources into finding rapists, stopping drunk drivers and arresting burglars, who do far more damage than a bunch of drugged out wackos do any day.

The only resources I’m willing to provide is to scrape them up from the sidewalks before the kids go to school in the morning so they won’t spread disease.

Call it what you will ("socialism" fits). Just don't call it libertarianism.

You weren’t paying attention, were you. I said I wasn’t a Libertarian. I am not a ‘socialist.’ I am pure Capitalist.

Reparations? No taxpayers shouldn‘t be made to provide reparations, let Nature provide the reparations.
