"... such as individual responsibility and smaller government.

Those phrases roll off your keyboard as though those conditions exist. They don't and you know it.

Yet you're perfectly willing to call for the legalization of recreational drugs into a society supported by a large, nanny state government where there is no such thing as personal responsibility anymore.

FIRST, bring those back, THEN we can discuss the legalization of drugs. Otherwise you're just compounding the problem.

Disagree

They are a symptom of the problem. Just like the runny nose is a symptom of a cold. However, if you didn't have a runny nose and sore throat, you wouldn't have a cold then would you. And, likewise, if you remove the symptoms of the nanny state, you will no longer have a nanny state.

As for you little nitpicking over "number of deaths". Who cares?? If somebody wants to drink Benzene or sulphuric acid, they should not be prohibited by law.

Thank you for proving my point that drug warriors only use emotionally based arguments just like the gun-grabbers.

After all, a few people may use guns or drugs irresponsibly, so we need to make them illegal for everybody.You decry the nanny state, yet you remain one of FR's biggest supporters.

You're sounding like a libertarian.
