That isn’t it.

It’s the 24 hour news cycle that has turned this world on its head.

I’ve been given many of those drugs and some actually healed my condition. I take nothing today but the government has no right to say I cannot have it when I am in pain.

I have a half-million bucks on my head, would they rather I cash out?

" I take nothing today but the government has no right to say I cannot have it when I am in pain."

I am conservative but lean libertarian. I realize that it is a libertarian position to live and let live and for the most part I believe in that. However, we live in society, as such we have to give up some of our freedoms in order for society to properly function.

Did you see the picture in the story of the two adults OD'd with the little boy in the backseat? This is where theory hits reality. Do we as a society say this is enough? Do we not as a society try to intervene and stop this epidemic so that the innocents like that boy and so many more don't have to go through that hell in his life? Are you willing to put the burden on society of raising all of these innocent children because their parents made bad choices and died, or perhaps help the parents? I stand on the side of giving up a little of my freedom that I can't choose the drug I want and when I want it for the greater good of society and the millions of people like that little boy this is affecting.
