Let me actually ‘school you’ on something important.
The Founders did not want a BOR. They felt that there was no need since the Constitution enumerated all rights that the federal government had and there was no need to list the rights held by citizens because they were understood.
Well, a fight ensued and many of the founders felt that w/o a direct enumeration the feds would seize rights they did not have . So, they created a BOR and stated rights. Look at Amendment 9 & 10 which have direct applicability here.
The Founders did not want a BOR. - . . . many of the founders felt that w/o a direct enumeration the feds would seize rights they did not have . So, they created a BOR You can't have it both ways - they didn't want a BOR - they forced the writing of a BOR. The truth is that there were some who felt the Constitution was fine just as written, while many others disagreed. A very long debate ensued, and the BOR were encorporated as a result.
So there's no misunderstanding here - I'm against legalization of illegal drugs, period. That is my opinion, and I've yet to see or hear of an argument sufficient to change that opinion. I've seen too often the direct and indirect results of the use of illegal drugs on victims of drug use (children). So, the argument that people using drugs hurts no one is BS. Try telling that to a child that was born addicted to meth or crack. Try telling that to a child who suffers acute frustration and anxiety because they cannot learn what their peers seem to be able to learn in school as a result of their being exposed to drugs either inutero or post-natal. You really think that legalization of drug use will eliminate these effects?? If you do, then you really need to put down your crack pipe.
