Why not? Only crazy people would do it.
It has a high degree of risk.
You potentially could harm someone. An example would be if your chute didn't open and you rammed someone on the ground, killing both yourself and the person you rammed.
Not everyone wants to do it.
Some people choose to do it.
In light of this, skydiving DEFINITELY should be outlawed.
Oh wait, you're just trying to press YOUR morals on people, regarding your opinion of the negative impact of marijuana smoking!!! My fault...I guess when it comes down to the choice of what people are allowed to do with their bodies, it has to be along YOUR moral guidelines.
Maybe if the Republicans did more to adhere to conservative values and preserving the rule of law and limits on the federal government as written in the US Constitution, rather than bashing Libertarians, they'd be able to earn those votes.
Republicans simply don't do enough to earn my vote.
You make my point. Everything resolves to "lets do dope."
Well, I think trying to get votes from Libertarians is a fool's cause. We are much better off and more successful trying to get votes from black Americans and Latinos.
I guess I will never understand the LP infatuation with drugs. Unlike skydiving drugs have long term effects. The abuser is not an island upon himself.
As for alcohol (which the LP's bring up like clockwork) - it has a cultural basis which no other drug can claim. It is a drink, a foodstuff, a preservative, a disinfectant, and even helps fuel your car. It is also used in Church services to commemorate Jesus at the Last Supper.
One of my brothers was a Catholic missionary who had to get special permission to bring wine into dry Southern counties (yes, we have dry counties and I respect the wishes of their voters) to have church services.
I have never seen drugs do good for anyone. I nearly wrecked my own life with them. And no, I do not have the attitude of "I couldn't handle it so keep it banned". I have simply seen too many people who have ruined their lives through naivete. People are so uniformed about drugs.
As it is, they remain illegal. I think we should respect the laws as they are. Maybe local communities someday will have legal drugs - I would not agree with them, but I would support their right to choose so.
Until that day happens, I suggest we respect our laws. I really don't think that is too hard of a thing to do.
