I'm still waiting for your answer to that one.

Why don't we talk about you, eh? Rather than hide behind others, why can't you defend your strange obession with seeing drugs legalized, kids with free access to dope and drug pushers on every street corner.

Yes, let's beg the question and change the subject. That'll fix it.

I simply want to end the Federal Drug War and have each individual state decide on the legality of drugs. If this were to happen, I would personally prefer that pot be legalized in my state but nothing harder.

kids with free access to dope

Unlike you Arnold moderates, I find socialized medicine to be repulsive.and drug pushers on every street corner.

As I said, I would not like for anyhing harder than pot to be legal. The number of dealers of hard drugs would not be affected.

With that said, do you still consider me to be a pro-druggie? Also, being that I took the time to answer your queries, would you mind answering mine about JimRob? Is he a pro-druggie?

I've never seen so many logical fallacies packed into 1 paragraph: 2 ad homenim attacks and 2 strawman arguments:

Ad homenim 1: 'Why don't we talk about you, eh? Rather than hide behind others,'
No, why can't you debate the issue, instead of implying that the opposition is cowardly?

Ad homenim 2: 'your strange obession with seeing drugs legalized'
Not an 'obsession' at all, but a policy stance. Care to advance an argument to support your policy? Oh wait, it's keeping the WOD status-quo. Kinda like the DemocRATs about Social Security.

Strawman 1: 'kids with free access to dope'
Oh come on, this is so stupid it's laughable. Hello, genius - it's black marketeers that give kids access to dope. For someone who wants Clinton to Be Gone, you sure sound a hell of lot like him: "for the chillrun", doncha know.

Strawman 2: 'drug pushers on every street corner'
Do alcohol and tobacco vendors sell their wares on street corners? Uhhh, no. Nor do they shoot each other over 'turf' either: they apply for a license and legally acquire their inventory and place of business. Legalizing will get the pushers off the street corners and greatly reduce the violence that plagues the inner cities.

It never ceases to amaze just how much you Drug Warriors sound exactly like the 'liberals' (socialists) that you love to criticize. Like a 'liberal', your side is all about FEEEELings and you judge yourselves not on results but good inTENNNNtions. If you cared a hoot about really solving the real problems that we have with drug abuse in America, you'd at least acknowledge that your side has FAILED and FAILED MISERABLY and you'd at least consider an alternative.

But reformers are 'mentally ill', right? Let's round them up and re-educate them. Oh, what the hell - just shoot 'em.
