The Cruel Hoax of Legalization

Having spent 35 years in law enforcement, most of it in the New York State Police, and now as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration...

In other words, this was written by someone who's made a career out of the War of Drugs. (And thus someone who'd be unemployed were recreational drugs legalized!)

Materialist ideologues of any stripe, from Marxist to libertarian, see only a material reason to all actions, and never a values-based reason.

'Redcloak' made a valid initial reply to the #1 post, - and you came out of no where with your usual baseless anti-libertarian bull.

My response was not an attack with name-calling. I never called him or you a socialist or a jihadist or an idiot, as you have to me often enough, ironically. I made the valid point that materialists always see a material-based reason for any action rather than a values-based reason. His comment could easily have been: "Cops are against achieving a world without theft or rape or murder, 'cause then they'd be out of a job!" I am sorry if you find the similarities between the various humanist-based and materialist-based ideology-based philosophies unsettling.
