G-d I hate the drug laws, no drug should be illegal -- sold with a license and taxed up the waz, but never completely banned. Too many in prison over them, and the courts overwhelmed with the burden of them. But most of all this degenerate laws teach the worst disregard for the judgement and property of adults, and by that disrespect cause the whole of the law and justice system to be perverted.

Yet the "swinging" aspect of the van Dam situation does have a greater true injustice in it. For a marriage is a Contract, and a two-party contract of a special type, and priviledged in many regards because of that specialness. It is not a contract to be trifled with, and Society, to maintain a proper and awesome regard among all for the specialness of that marriage contract, must act to enforce its most important terms, even when the two parties within it may themselves agree not to.

Now there are many that stray from that contract but the conduct of "swingers" is especially egregious and it is a major dissing of the specialness of that contract. Therefore I am for holding the van Dams and any other established and regular swingers to account in court for violation of that special contract of marriage.

Let them not take us all down into their mud, and pervert's view of marriage, for society can not abide the consequences of disregard for marriage's specialness, not for contracts in general.

Knowing how alcohol and drugs can destroy a person and ruin the family..I hate them both. I can't see how legalizing it will help anyone..instead of putting them in prison, put them in 24hr a day superivsed community service program.
