The sick mind and worldview of John Maynard Keynes (Worldview matters): He was a sodomite who constantly engaged in homosexual orgies where little boys were used. Yes—he was a well-known pederast—everyone knew it. In some instances, these sodomites castrated the boys (in foreign countries where they sold their boys because of the poverty). That is the mind of a person who embraced Marxist economics and forced it into England and America with the help of socialists/progressives who were Fabian Socialists to destroy Western Civilization.
Anyone who practices Keynesian economics has the same worldview as Keynes—probably a big homosexual (sodomy) “rights” person—a Godless one and is working for an Ameritopia. They are EVIL.
Ideas matter.
Laws should NEVER promote EVIL behavior—they no longer are Just Law. Morality is essential to “Just Law” since Justice is the first and most important Virtue for freedom and equality.
The Holmesian irrational idea that morality and law have to be separated is a lie (and Marxist). All Just Law is about promoting a Virtuous people-—which is needed (Aristotle, Cicero, Founders) for a free Republic. Without Virtue, there can only be slavery. With allowing government to promote evil behavior—like drug use for children which destroys their brain and emotional health—it destroys a rational populace—and creates an evil dependency on government.
Drug use destroys the brain, especially in children. Legalizing murder would be equivalent to legalizing the destruction of the brain-—the death of logic and Reason and a responsible and moral populace. Again—without morality—there is no Freedom. People using drugs are immoral and irresponsible and costly to civil society. They drain the wealth of a country and destroy the emotional health of any children they are supposed to raise to be responsible citizens-—what Confucius said is the most important reason for existence of man. They shirk their prime responsibility—Duty—which is the essential part of citizenship in a civil society and reason for any government.
Duty (being responsible) is the necessary ingredient of citizenship and freedom from dependency. Drug users cheat, lie, steal and generally have no qualms about treating others in inhumane, unjust ways. They use others for their own selfish “needs” which are addictive. We do not want to ever encourage such evil, slavish behavior.
Besides—drug use endangers children (many have died from neglect and accidents because of druggie parents), not counting the deaths caused by being on drugs of oneself and others. The emotional damage done to children because of neglect of “druggie” selfish parents is seen in prison costs and gang activities. The medical costs are costly also. Parents HAVE to teach children to be moral......doing drugs models the opposite and teaches irresponsibility and Keynesian morality. (see first paragraph).
Then why in the world do we ensure that drugs will be so expensive that the habituated must necessarily resort to crime?
Then why in the world do we ensure that there will always be a profit in the trade?
Then why in the world do we ensure that the habituated will engage in the trade and push drugs to finance their expensive addiction thus encouraging such evil, slavish behavior?
Is there any evidence that these claims are any less true of the legal drug alcohol? Should we recriminalizat that drug?
You have identified a problem, but you offer no solution.
One of the hallmarks of liberalism is in the way they go about solving problems.
“Let’s implement solution ‘A’ and hope for a good result...”
“Oh crap! We got the opposite result! That must mean that we haven’t done ENOUGH ‘A’!”
“The results are worse than last time! We must do even more ‘A’ to get a good result...”
And they never realize that solution ‘A’ was the wrong thing to do.
The WOD has proven ineffective, expensive and WRONG in all ways. I am not saying that we throw in the towel, but I am saying that we have to admit that it’s time to try different tactics.
At this point, the Libertarians are right. The WOD has been so disastrous, that it’d be better to legalize drugs than keep going down the same path we’ve been on. Personally, I believe that we need to either give up or act like grown ups, admit that solution ‘A’ was not a good solution and go back to the drawing board.
This is one area where Conservatives act like wrong-headed liberals every time.
