What is it with you, are you upset that you don't have the right to order to some smack through the post?

I'm upset that we can lose our constitutional rights (asset forfeiture, no-knock raids, etc) because someone has decided others' actions are "bad enough". Somebody else ordering smack (I don't touch the stuff, even if you choose not to believe that) does not mean their basic human right to be left alone is forfeit.

Your rights end where others begin. If you are an idiot and get drunk and smash into someone with a car, then you are infringing their right to life. If you are an idiot who wants to get wasted on smack, and you cost the government money in terms of emergency health services, public disorder, and hospital treatment, you are infringing others rights to enjoy their property. Basically, by creating a nation of addicts, you people impose costs on the rest of us to clean up the mess behind. Where do you take into consideration our rights, the people who are not stupid enough to be tempted by narcotics?
