You asked me to imagine a parrellel universe. I didn't have to try very hard, as you are in it. You have a vivid imagination and have described it in great detail. A place where cause and effect have no relationship and can be neatly divided. A place where crack cocaine is indistinguishable from Miller Lite. A utopia where drug use is what good productive citizens do to pass the time on their commute.
You may want to give thought to the fact that democracies that have failed have done so because they have failed to provide the rule of law, not because they haven't provided enough outlets for moral vice and crime.
You said no such thing, and have been clear that law breaking, while under the influence should be punished. I should not have included the reference to a commute. My apology to you.
