Drug abuse can adversely affect a family, don't get me wrong, but it's going to affect a family regardless of whether drugs are illegal. Same goes for fast food and alcohol, and gambling, and all-around bad attitudes. People who make poor decisions aren't criminals. They're people. In a free society, people ought to be free to screw things up and live with the consequences. It's the only way they're ever going to learn. But when we try to solve addictions by eliminating narcotics, we only create a new set of problems that affect a larger number of people on the whole. Or look at it this way: Used car salesmen don't go around shooting each other. Drug dealers do.
This guy makes a dangerous amount of sense.
"This guy makes a dangerous amount of sense."Well, when you make baseless, theoretical statements like, "In a free society, people ought to be free to screw things up and live with the consequences", of course.
Can you point to where this happens today in our society?
