There would have to be a law to impose the requirement; we could expect that law to work every bit as well as Prohibition did.

you're nonresponsive - - -

what is your fixation -- obsession on alcohol // drugs ---

insure -- bond your lifestyle // potential liability to live in a normal non dysfunctional society = = =

pay the high risk insurance that your lifestyle incurs to others =====

or live in a cave where you won't hurt anyone but yourself with your addictions // sickness ==== disease !

Post a bond and let the market place dictate the worth of your lifestyle and value system ==== bankrupt !

I have no "fixation" or "obsession"---but your personal attack is duly noted. I am particularly concerned with this issue because it's one of the few on which self-professed "conservatives" take the anti-liberty side; as a conservative that bothers me.

Natural law gives government the authority only to defend individual liberties.

TTFN. Back tomorrow.

Natural law gives government no authority to defend vices---nor to prohibit vices that don't violate individual liberties.

(Now I really have to log off.)

Galatians...chapter 5

13] For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
[14] For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[15] But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
[16] This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
[17] For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
[18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
[19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
[20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
[21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
[24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
[25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
[26] Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gal.6

[1] Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
[2] Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

So who's proposing a law against meekness and temperance?

[1] Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness

Putting your brother in a cage has no "spirit of meekness." Thanks for making a Scriptural case for an end to the War On Some Drugs.

Indeed, the War On Some Drugs is a War On Sanity and as such it should end.

I haven't seen any personal attacks from him. (Or any shred of rationality---but a policy of banning irrational posts would put FR on thin ice indeed.)
