"The drug war is lost."

It's neither lost nor won. It just is. And it's working. If you don't think it's working, then you'd have to believe that if we ended it drug use would not increase.

Do you believe that?

I think there would be an initial increase followed by an overall decrease. There would be a huge decrease in crime as the trade was taken out of the hands of street gangs and violent thugs, and an overall decline in the wanton power of the federal government.

Freedom is tough; it requires enormous amounts of personal responsibility and hard work. If regulating the way people live their lives is the best way to promote a healthy society, you should join Mayor Bloomberg's staff so you can go after trans-fats and smoking in bars, followed by the banning of talking on cell phones in cars.

The sky's the limit for the amount of bad and destructive behaviors you can start cracking down on, all while the bureaucrats' budgets and pension plans skyrocket as we drift further into the nanny state.

“It’s neither lost nor won. It just is. And it’s working. If you don’t think it’s working, then you’d have to believe that if we ended it drug use would not increase.

Do you believe that?”

So basically what you are saying is that the average human being is so completely helpless and gullible.... that if the asinine WOD was stopped tomorrow....millions of them would immediately run out and buy a shoe box full of coke and snort it until their heads explode?

Please explain where personal responsibility fits in to your life...if it does at all.

Would YOU run out and buy some heroin with today’s paycheck if you knew it was legal?

Get a clue...ok?

Yes Bobby, there are millions of people just dying to try drugs, there are just holding out waiting for the governments ok, to do so. Cause you know people who use drugs always follow the rules.

Do you believe that?

Upon what are you basing your conclusion that the WOD is working?
