Your post deserves my super-sized font feature!
The human wreckage and waste, not only moral degradation that legalizing drugs would create would be the last nail in this country's coffin.
Moral strength and fortitude, clean sober thinking and morality is what gave this country it's greatness in the first place. In other words, you can make a pig into bacon, but you can't make bacon back into a pig.
Any argument to the contrary is pure insanity and has no merit.
Just wondering and too lazy to look it up but when did this weed become illegal and why. I am an old man and don’t remember it being a problem years ago. Hemp rings a bell. SF
Absolutely, no argument there what-so-ever. The problem is that the government cannot make the people morally strong, government cannot create fortitude in its citizens, government cannot make the citizenry think cleanly or soberly, and government certainly cannot make its citizens moral.
All government can do is enforce outward compliance to morally based laws. The question is: Where do you draw the line? Which moral decisions belong to the individual and which moral decisions necessitate a punitive response by government? Surely you recognize that you can't lay the whole kit and kaboodle of morality at the feet of government and expect the population to give it's consent to be governed thusly.
