Another great posting. I once supported the drug war and thought that Libertarians who opposed it were nuts. But they turned out to be right.
The problem is that once you start unravelling like that, you wind up thinking that a limited federal government ruled by a restrictive Constitution makes sense.
Some laws are truly needed and are time-tested. Murder, rape, robbery, fraud...
And then there are the other laws. The ones that are about personal preferences, and enforced by men with guns and the force of law.

I thought the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment gave us a hint on how well prohibitions work. Remember the St. Valentine’s Day massacre, Al Capone and bootleggers such as the Kennedy klan...the spelling is intentional.
