That is funny, that is what i was thinking about people that make laws to create their own utopian world. Then they wonder why no one follows the law.
Something like seat belt laws... people don't use them lets make a law to make everyone do it because its best for them. Once you start down that road it is never ending.
Reality is that the existing laws don't exist to provide for a utopia, they exist to protect the populace against the damage done by users and abusers because we know the effects that this crap has on family and community. And it isn't that NO ONE follows the law, it's that people who think themselves above the law don't follow it. Not as high sounding now - is it. I don't need to go to absurd extremes and manipulations of the truth in order to make the case against legalization. You guys have to beg extremes and paint us pictures of jackbooted thugs. Sorry, we already have jackbooted thug pictures - they are largely of the dope smoking and peddling type arrested in large raids.
Seat belt laws we can agree upon. They're moronic and misguided because seatbelt use is a 50/50 proposition. It however is in no way comparable to antidrug laws. And it's dishonest to compare them.
