I'm no advocate of drug abuse, no matter what misguided notions you have, but I'm also no advocate of the government creating and enforcing vice laws between consenting adults. This not a theocracy and you don't have a right to have the government enforce your brand of morality. You may not be concerned about the peripheral issues of losing Constitutional rights in the process of eradicating drugs, but I am. I resent that you are willing to turn over your rights as well as others' in the hope of increased security.
Why is it that parents and private groups have failed so miserably in keeping kids off of drugs? Can we blame the government for that somehow?
I never once said that it was. No where did I ever ONCE suggest that it was. As a matter of factly, I never once brought up the spiritual aspect of using drugs at all. You did that all on your very own. Insofar as the gov't is concerned, I don't wish them to intrude on ANY part of my life. Not the IRS, the Dept of Education, the CIA, FBI, or what have you. But common sense tells me that if you legalize these drugs, you are in for a WORLD OF HURT. It won't happen immediately, but gradually. You will, as Milton once remarked in Paradise Lost, have made a "Hell of Earth and a Heaven of Hell".
BUt I fret for nil, for "your guy" aint gonna make the exec chair anyways. Never has, never will. I know it, the People know it, and God knows it. Anarchists. Every one of you.
