That is an entirely different argument than the "people will steal it anyway"-argument you led with.
So: You are also in favor - for the same reasons - of again prohibiting alcohol?
Regards,
I don't drink the shit anyway, so I could give a rat's ass what they do with it. The bottom line is that whether it be drugs or alcohol, or any substance the government allows you to sniff, inject, or swallow, they will be getting their share of the bucks from it, no matter how it effects peoples' lives. The government runs illegal programs, and makes money off of it. They throw money at fake wars, and make money from it. Everything the government does, you can bet your sweet ass, it's putting money in their pockets. I don't have to help politicians get any wealthier than they already are.
People will steal anything if it isn't nailed down, and they will steal it even if it is. There are all kinds of thieves, and I came across all kinds working in NY State's prison system for 25 years. And then there's the thieves that run the government. Not all the criminals are behind bars.
