Well said.
I’m seeing many replies on this thread that say in effect “Well, in 1909 we had no drug laws.....”
Your post puts that faulty logic to rest.
I've seen that argument too. It's like saying that laws against pornography are wrong because they did just fine without all those laws in the 1700's. It's crazy logic.
That is one of the biggest pantloads I have had the misfortune to gaze on in a VERY long time. It’s a bunch of bullbleep a mile wide and a mile deep.
Things were NOT all hunky-dory in the late 19th-early 20th centuries any more than they were in the late 17th/early 18th centuries or earlier or later. NO AGE has been any more or less full of hypocritical piety than any other. And today is no different. It’s that the OPPONENTS of Christianity and Judaism are more vocal about it and have THEIR friends in high places now, that is ALL. The “Christian” control freaks (teetotalers, etc.) had THEIR “friends at court” and set one hellaciously bad precedent: If you want to control others lives in the name of your version of “morality,” get FedGov to do your dirty work. You can see how well that worked with what we face today. Yet you two idiots want more of the same, just dealing with YOUR pet peeves. Get a CLUE, sunshine, THAT’S what the Obamites have done and are doing to us... and the teetotalers are the ones who set the precedent.
You two haven’t the faintest idea what you are talking about, but don’t let that keep you from calling for more government... what am I saying? I KNOW it won’t stop you.
