“fails to achieve its ends when overused as in capitalizing 60 consecutive words.”
YYour opinion may be valid.. but nothing else has helped you follow the logic!

Simply: decriminalization merely legalizes crime.
Criminal attorneys push to profit from changing law to make illegal legal.

You're suggesting that criminal attorneys will profit from defending people of being charged with doing something LEGAL?

Which is a good thing when a law, like the law banning pot, causes more harm than it prevents.

No..
I believe any attorney is a criminal “pushes to profit” from changing law to make ILLEGAL actions LEGAL i.e. pot, prostitution, heroin, opium.

But ironically, the more decriminalization of penal law that determines what is threatening, harmful, or otherwise endangering to the property, health, safety, and moral welfare of people the greater reduction of their own scope to practice law! LOL

But, easier money is made by just CHANGING the law that protected the public from practices that endangered society.

BTW now you understand why I tried capitalization to catch attention for understanding.

If someone during Prohibition pushed for its end while maneuvering to profit from that end, would that have been "criminal"?

I do?

Actually, just like ConservingFreedom, it just looked like a lot of shouting to me. I won't speak for him, but for me, I just took it that your capitalizing every word was a matter of you getting shrill because your arguments weren't going well. I'll use capitalization to emphasize a word or two, just like you did appropriately in this most recent post. Emphasizing my every word would be shouting, whether it would be in print or out loud.

You misunderstood. I explained. Take it however pleases you.
Capitalize at will :D

I have no idea what this means. Sorry. I simplified enough. Maybe, stay away from pot!

I think it's an ungrammatical rephrasing of the claim in post #51 ... a claim that merits a hearty, "So what?"
