Ahh, and all of our Libertine dopers keep promising us that decriminalizing drugs will reduce crime...

Whatever...

Gotta love that FReeperpage of yours, Dr.

You're a right-thinkin' American. The numbers are dwindling, but one right-thinkin' Americanstill outbalances 1000 bong-brain libertines and loony-tune liberals so there is hope for our great nation yet.

Libertarians don't need a free state project. The pro-dope pro-sodomy paradise of Canada already exists to cater to their self-obsessions and infantile indulgences.

Nah, the social conservatives will attribute any reduction
in crime to something else.  Witness the decline in American
criminality coinciding with legalized abortion.

The cops have to actually try to crack down on crime for crime to go down, don'tchaknow? Crime can't go down if dopers don't feel comfortable going to the police about it.

It won't but it will make a lot of stupid people more so. That's why they call it dope. Given enough time it will lower the IQ of intelligent people.

Legalize drugs to free up the cops and the courts to go after the "real" criminals -- those who are stealing their drugs.
