Nor are drug dealers responsible for the 3 million kids in foster care or raised by relatives because the parents are too high and drunk to care for their kids.

In an around about way, the author addressed this here:

Not being laboratory rats, human behavior is mediated by--and cannot be explained without reference to--values, conscious choices, and probity of character or lack thereof.

It is the parents that are choosing to put their pleasure before the welfare of their children, not the dealers deciding for them.

However, if we executed all the drug dealers, we'd have less social problems

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and if we took away all the guns.........

Can the hysterics, please. It's the BLACK MARKET that's responsible for a great deal of these problems, not the pharmacological effects of the drugs.

Just like leftists, you drug warriors can only FEEL about social issues; you can't THINK.

Round 1 has been filed in the memory hole, apparently.

But I have it archived and published on a server somewhere, including the parts where a libertarian ideologue threatened to call in a false tip to the Feds against a fellow FReeper, and all the force and fraud of libel from a member of the no-force-no-fraud crowd.

Great. It's probably the reason why the thread was pulled. Although, I didn't recognize the "ideologue"'s name and have no idea if it was actually a libertarian.

BTW, it's initiaton of force that libertarians eschew. If you're planning to resurrect parts of that thread, be sure and also post the one from early in the thread -- you remember, it was where the Avocado thrower said he wanted anyone who merely disagrees with FedGov's current drug policies to be executed? (Isn't it funny that the thread wasn't pulled nor that comment excised.) Thanks in advance.

All attempts to legalize illegal drugs are immoral, unethical and destroy all that is good in America.

Simply dry out, end your habitual drug usage Addicted People and join the human race.

Be responsible to yourself, your family and your country. Don't attempt pathetic excuses to score! You are sick if you do illegal drugs. Get help. GET SOBER!

Have a Happy New Year!

PS: Don't give us the old booze, dying, locked up people and other excuses to try to push illegal drugs. We see past that and are not in a self-medicated state to buy that kind of bunk. Grow up!

Your question was too vaguely worded to determine its meaning, but, "liberty and justice for all" continues to do fine for me, thanks.
