Oh Gods,

Not again....

Although I doubt that one could use vector analysis to predict legislation by analyzing campaign contributions and lobbying expenses, most legislation is the outcome of a contest of financial interests of varying kinds.

All legislation serves private pecuniary interest-- that's an important reason why the state should be kept on a short leash, and excluded from the economy as much as possible.

The drug laws are but a particularly egregious example of the evils of looking to the state for guidance.

Job protection at its worst.

Yup. How many assistant DA's would be needed if there weren't a slew of pot users to nail to the wall?

“Those who support drug legalization are well funded and highly adept at manipulating the media,” reads a Nov. 1 letter to prosecutors from the president of the National District Attorneys Association, Dan M. Alsobrooks. “And they do not mind deceiving the American public as well.”

LOL...who' calling the kettle black now? Wasn't it just a week, or so, ago that our esteemed Czar told parents to lie to their kids? And now the legalization crowd are the ones without scruples? ROTFFLMGDAO, propo-spewage from the snake pit should always be so blatant.

Again, correlation NOT causation. I have asked this question over and over. Someone please tell me the exact substance/agent/chemical in marijuana that induces craving for other "harder" drugs!

Oh, OH, pick me....GOVERNMENT!!!

Am I right? It's the government "in" marijuana that makes it a gateway!!

Not to sound optomistic but they have, in the past and in the face of overwhelming public pressure, repealed such laws. Of course, in order to continue employment, we got the WOD in its formers place.

"It's the government "in" marijuana that makes it a gateway!!"

You, Horseshack, are correct!! The whole "Gateway Argument" derives from the fact that if you are willing to break the law to smoke the WhackyWeed, you are more likely to break the law to do other "more dangerous" drugs.

Move to the head of the line...MUD

Those who push for pot criminalization are protecting their economic turf. They tend to be collectivists by nature. By that I mean that destruction of individual liberties is justified for the "good" of the collective. They tend to be socialists...as their incomes are by in large, generated from taxes on the people (DA's, law enforcement, public defenders, prison builders/staff, military, and the list goes on...). Don't be fooled people,,,,the anti pot agenda is about tax money...plain and simple. Don't be fooled by all of their reasons for the war on pot. It's just socialist collectivism and money. Lots of Americans tax dollars wasted away...year after year. It's time that we as a society let potheads grow their own, and put the drug warriors...and pot peddlers out of business!

[EBUCK]

Don't you believe that BigAgriculture would try to outlaw backyard gardens if they thought they could get away with it?! Same thing, IMHO...MUD

But then there would be a turf war between the BIG-AGs and the BIG-Home supply chains....

"just try convincing the soccer moms of it"

The whole kids doing drugs argument is a paper tiger, as any parent who wants to stop their kids fromk doing drugs need only buy an increasingly-affordable drug-testing package and test their kids if they fear he/she has began getting into something they shouldn't. Then, once folks are 21, employers already have the right to randomly-test their employees, but if someone wants to smoke pot as long as it doesn't affect their work performance, who's really got the right to bitch about what some other folks ingest?!

"shed be sooo prud ome!!"

The plaudits are richly deserved, my FRiend...more people need to realize that DemonRATS and FederalLeviathanGrowth are BAD, while Liberty, Self-Responsibility, and FederalGuv'mentShrinkage is GOOD!!

The WarOnSomeDrugs is BAD 'cuz it gives unnecessarily-intrusive Powers to the Federal Leviathan...MUD

Good link to a good thread, but I try to limit myslef to one WOSD thread per week...LOL!!

[doberville]

And so, I might add, is yours.

You can always be counted on to add a nasty, ill considered non sequitar on these threads. . .

Did you read the source?

Pretty much destroys all the propoganda we are hearing now, from 30 years ago, commisioned under Nixon.
