I agree; but is the law they broke a good law or a bad law? I say the latter.
A non-violent heroin user or pot smoker can cause violent consequences to themselves and others if behind a wheel of a car or in possesion of a firearm for example.
Ditto for alcohol users ... but I don't think that's a good argument for banning alcohol. Do you?
I don't want to get into a tirade about legalizing drugs with you...the whole notion is useless from this small l libertarian unless you eliminate health care entitlements, government regulations on health care, have a society where people actually bare the full responsibility for their choices
Health care costs go up because of drinking and unhealthy eating, but I don't think that's a good argument for banning alcohol or giving government control of adults' food choices. Do you?
No. But I think it is an excellent reason for getting rid of health care entitlements, which was his point. Which you missed.
