How do you explain the ease with which euthanasia swept through the Netherlands?

Their Western European culture is obviously amenable to that sort of thing. Ours doesn't seem to be.

I attribute it to several things, one of them being that the population is too busy using drugs to be bothered about what is happening in the government. They are desensitized.

You honestly believe a bunch of evil zealots slipped this sort of legislation by a population because they were too stoned to realize what they were doing? I've been to Amsterdam twice now, and honestly---the only people that seem to frequent the coffeeshops in large numbers are the tourists from places where weed isn't legal. The Dutch are out holding jobs and making money like everyone else all around the world.

I cannot say this strongly enough: AMSTERDAM IS NOT A CITY OF STONED ZOMBIES.

Your theory is 200% whacked. It reeks of your own personal agenda and has no basis at all in reality.

So you don't think drug usage has any effect on the direction the country takes politically or morally?
