Daniel Greenfield is absolutely correct. Legalizing an evil does not make it less evil.
And criminalizing every bad idea helps shrink leviathan how?
What next ? make gluttony a crime?
RE: Daniel Greenfield is absolutely correct. Legalizing an evil does not make it less evil.
I think the argument is not whether or not shooting heroine is evil — the argument is how BEST to minimize its use. Both conservatives and libertarians agree that using heroine is bad, the issue is POLICY — How best to minimize it with the least cost to society.
Libertarians claim that legalizing it ( which does not mean approving of it ) is the best way to achieve that. Conservatives claim that it will create more harm than good.
And so the debate goes...
No, but it may help get the bad batches off the market, because because producers will have an incentive to not kill their customers.
“Daniel Greenfield is absolutely correct. Legalizing an evil does not make it less evil.”
Sure. But that’s not the point.
The point is our huge bloated, para-military, police state that does nothing to protect against drugs and is just sitting there, ready to be used, by the next Hitler.
