The point is marijuana law have dramatically loosened in the last 20 years in the U.S. and the size of government has grown exponentially. But that was your point all along.
No it wasn't and it's dishonest to say so. You originally said "If you thought the Zetas were bad..." I countered with a few facts about crime and marijuana laws.
No one said or implied a thing about the size of government until you introduced it. Now if you want to go that route, let's talk about the fraudulent New Deal Commerce Clause, which allowed fedgov to expand into every corner of our lives, including the EPA, fedgov control of health care and the War on Drugs.
So do you support the New Deal Commerce Clause, or do you support the Tenth Amendment?
