Exactly. It may come as a surprise to social-Darwinian ideologues, but the DOI Preamble doesn't say that our inalienable rights include "an early death, slavery to vice, and the pursuit of unneeded suffering."

I take it "life" being that my life is my own and should I choose to end it early, that is my choice to make and mine alone. I don't know what you would define "liberty" as, but I define it as self-determination without being beholden to another. As for "pursuit of happiness", one man's vice is another's virtue. If you choose to make these decisions for others, then according to our founding fathers you are usurping God's plan for all humans.

"The WOD is really the war on freedom."


I hope you never find out that George Soros has his sights on your freedom and your guns. 'Useful idiots' help bring him closer to his goal.

JR wrote, on the issue:

"There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that authorizes the federal government to wage war against the citizens of the United States, no matter how well-meaning the intent.
The Bill of Rights means just as much today, as it did on the day it was written. And its protections are just as valid and just as important to freedom today, as they were to our Founders two hundred years ago.
The danger of the drug war is that it erodes away those rights. Once the fourth amendment is meaningless, it's just that much easier to erode away the first and then the second, etc. Soon we'll have no rights at all. "
