Absolutely. How does that relate to your point that "Laws WERE made for a purpose and they were MEANT to protect people" - or were you just free-associating in post #10?

Laws are for those who WON'T protect themselves or their children. When they break those laws, they go to prison.
That's the deal: you do the crime; you do the time.

By the way, why on earth would you care so much if I should happen to "free-associate"? Why do you care? You need a life.

I'm all for backbone and self control. Are they also what you advocate to combat drugs and alcoholism - or do you for some reason favor laws in those cases but not overeating and never moving?

Backbone and self control also preclude drugs and alcoholism

So we need to imprison those who won't protect themselves or their children from drugs and alcoholism - but we don't need to imprison those who won't protect themselves or their children from overeating and never moving. Why is that?

You need a life.

Hey, I'm not the one cluttering up conservative forums with free association.
