Moral equivalence is a suitable topic that is a legitimate source of angst for conservative and liberal and libertarian alike...but the caguy and amelia and howlin want to make it a war on drugs issue and it isn't...this is about Police Abuse

HU, so kind of you to ping me to where you were talking about me. /sarcasm

Actually I didn't want to make it a war on drugs issue. I wanted TLBSHOW to either back up or retract his assertion that most policemen, lawyers, judges, and teachers use drugs, mainly because I fit one of those categories myself, and I know it's not true, at least where I live.

It's not about me trying to make a war of it, it's about other people making outrageous accusations they can't or won't back up - surely even YOU can appreciate THAT?

But of course, he did not assert most

You asserted most did not

Y'all were arguing to argue without paying attention.

tlbshow: So the question is why aren't the teachers the lawyers the police officers or the judges homes doors busted down?

amelia: The question is, how do you know all these people are using drugs?

I'm sure there are some people in every profession who use drugs. In fact, there was an Army major arrested near where I live last year for selling drugs.

But I don't think MOST people in these professions use drugs.
