Think a bit, and you will see that this kind of behaviour is just wrong.

Don't fool yourself. These people hate laws, they hate law enforcement and they seem to hate America.

In a world of pick and choose I wonder if they feel at the end of the day it was worth it. A lot bigger problems face our country then whether or not growing pot should or should not be legal. There are many many other forms of freedom which have been trampled and if these people spent half their energy and money on 'educating' the masses about why they should be allowed to be blitz then I am sure it would have been made legal long ago. Did wonders for the gay lobby, women's rights, civil rights, and so on. Rosa parks did not plant a bomb in the front row seats and the gays did not booby trap their bath houses to blow people up during raids.

I may not agree with all the above agendas and where they have gone, but they have been effective. If you want your way in America play the game. Become a victim, get hollywood and others to show you as a great person whose life is destroyed by others, and get as much sympathy as you can. And like dominos the laws will change.

I think the police have gone a bit too far, and so have the idiot drug dealers who care nothing about anyone or who they destroy in their quest for money by getting kids addicted and helping in anyway they can to destroy the minds and lives of others. Alcohol is a dangerous enough mind altering drug to be floating around, as can be witnessed on the daily news, adding more to the equation will not help any. People don't obey the laws regarding alcohol, I seriously doubt if we legalize all drugs people will just go 'well, cool, I will just do them in my home and not bother anyone'. BS.

What is it with our quest to be 'out of it'? I vote we make one place in each city a drug allowed zone. Any drug you want, 24 hours a day. You can't leave with any, but you can do all you want there. Tax it, let people buy it, and for those too poor I am sure we will require welfare to cover it so they can have the 'priveldge' of getting wasted as well. Then the addicts will be off the street, not allowed to leave until out from under the haze, they will have the freedom to do as they wish and we will have the peace of mind that nothing new will be prowling the streets without a mind. I see drunks leave the bar every night near my house. I accept it, we have allowed that forever in our country - but I sure as hell don't want to add to it.

Freedom comes with responsibility, and while I am sure every user would promise to be responsible it would be like getting someone to promise to do something before they were plastered. So I favor a compromise as I mentioned above, something we all could live with. It will be legalized, it's only a matter of time.

I live in a small town with a lot of drug trafficking (they have a task force for the area called the route 23 drug task force), about the only crime in the town is drug related or alcohol related. And those crimes are not because people can't get the drugs - it because they are on them. When I was a deputy the worst people I saw were wacked out on something, several were in for killing others and did not even realize it for a few hours. I guess summing up my question is this: I can understand people wanting the freedom to do drugs, I honestly do - my question is why do you want to do them? I can understand alcohol, hell I can get a good flavored wine, a tasty beer, and so on. I don't even drink wine to get drunk, I have a nice glass of zinfadel for the flavor. But why, why do people want to get blitzed off their a$$es or whacked out on crack? It is a legimate question, I am not saying because they have no reason they shouldn't, I just want to know why they do.

Don't fool yourself. These people love irrational laws, they love jack booted law enforcement and they seem to hate America.
