When our Founding Fathers put their lives on the line to found this Republic, it was to keep our country free from the oppressing rule and laws of a foreign monarchy. They didn't foresee a time when automobiles would become the common method of transportation in this country, or that arrogant and selfish people would drink themselves to oblivion, get behind the wheel of a car, killing themselves and others.They also knew nothing about the uncontrolled influx of lethal drugs through our borders by criminal cartels from another country that would be delivering drugs, the majority of which are produced in China, or that drugs would be classified for recreational use, or that in 2022, 32.6% of stupid people in this country would die from drug overdose.
Don't you think those 32.6% were "educated" enough, and knew that doing drugs could harm them? Yet that many didn't give a damn and O.D.'d because they couldn't give two $hits about being safe. Nobody O.D.'s accidentally. It isn't an accident when you deliberately shoot up as much as you want, knowing full well, that it could kill you. These horse's asses can have as much freedom to drink and drive, or O.D. whenever they want...as long as they don't take an innocent soul with them. The Founding Father's certainly didn't want asshats like that to have the freedom to destroy other people's lives.
So, it is your belief that the Founding Fathers set up a country that was only free as you define freedom. Everybody else, not aligned with you, were not allowed their freedom?
It doesn’t matter how a person conducts themselves, in exercising their freedom. As I understand the Founding Fathers, if somebody uses their freedom and comes to a bad end, that is their problem. The Founding Fathers understood the world far better than you or I.
Nobody says you have to do drug and we should inform people of the risks. If they choose to do drugs, that is their right because the Constitution does not say no. If the Founding Fathers were concerned about safety, they would not have given us an uninfringed Second Amendment, where you can carry nukes if you can bear them.
Yes, I know what China is doing, but that’s up to the Feds to do their jobs. Let the 32.6% die of their drug overdose, if they’ve been informed of the risks. The Founding Fathers would have let them die.
