We don't have a national war on adultry and divorce. If we did, I suspect it would move along very much like the WOD does. And then I suppose that I would probably weigh the costs of that WoAaD and come to a similar conclusion.
Of course, that's a strawman, isn't it? The topic of discussion is the WOD, not the WoAaD.
No actually it's not a strawman and here is why.
You are assuming that the WoT must be carried to it's moral conclusion. That we value people being off drugs so much that we would be willing to kill a couple of rich little girls in order to make the point.
I am simply carrying your dicussion to it's logical conclusion. That all things that we consider immoral because be enforced with death.
Lying, adultry, divorce, homosexuality... all must be fought with killing people in order to make the point.
