The "free" medical care at VA hospitals maybe subsidized by government, but it is free to those eligible. No one of intelligence believes that drug addicts living in dumpsters are going to be able to afford their own dope. It will be given to them "free." i.e. subsidized by gov.

Your contention that a "handfull of people are irresponsible" (as a result of drug abuse)is so far out of reality I just cannot believe it! A handfull? Been to the inner city lately? Meth production/use is skyrocketing in rural areas, as previously stated. A "handfull?" Even the poverty pimps and those on the left are aware of the skyrocketing problem.

Let's warp it up Alan. If your statements (well, maybe 70%) aren't THEORY, then please inform this old hillbilly precisely where they have been implimented? What state, county, municipality?

Disclaimer:Please note, I am NOT using the word THEORY to demean you. Webster defines THEORY as "...conjecture, a mere hypothosis,or guess." How you could possibly misconstrue my use of that word to be a personal attack on you is beyond my comprehension. It wasn't/isn't meant to be such.

The TV's, stereos, VCR's, furniture, jewelry, liquor, and clothes that people stole during the LA riots was "free" to them as well.

No one...believes that drug addicts...are going to be able to afford their own dope. It will be given to them "free."...by gov.

Not in a Libertarian society.

The United States, prior to enactment and enforcement of the War on Drugs.
