"That says it all for your phony "consevatism." Since we have now established that yours is not a conservative position, I have only this left to say:"

You have your opinion,

Which is a conservative one.

I have mine.

Which is a liberal one.

"The logical conclusion from what you write above is that armed citizens should also be free to make the lives of legal substance dealers hell. Hardly a conservative position."

your position of trading one form of goverment control for another.

Still telling this lie? Shame on you.

I never once said anything about legal substances.

False; you said, "it's not working real well with the substances that are legal at this point."

Don't put words in my mouth,or infer things I'm not actually saying.

I'm pointing out the logical consequences of your statements. If you don't like them, rethink your statements.

"You have your opinion,

Which is a conservative one.

A little frustrated huh? This thread is entitled "three Israelis accused in NY of Ecstacy smuggle. Three foreigners brought a substance that has absolutly no redeeming value,no medical use,is nothing but a dangerous poison and a blight on our youth.I am advocating not making substances available to the general public.You are saying in the interest of personal freedoms they should be legal.I am saying a common sense solution would be registered addicts having access.I am saying the WOD should be ceased,but I am admitting there is no easy solution to the drug problem here in the US. Your assertion is that drugs should be sold and dispensed under goverment controls(all legal drugs are licensed by the FDA,and will continue to be).

Your comments sound like those of many liberal democrats,mine sound like those of many conservatives I have heard.

"your position of trading one form of goverment control for another."

"Still telling this lie? Shame on you."

How is this a lie-you would allow the goverment to control illicit drugs.Are you denying this?

"False; you said, "it's not working real well with the substances that are legal at this point."

What's working so well about it? Rampant alcoholism,sky high taxation on alcohol and tobbacco.Do we need more problems from substances that clearly are bigger problems.All your mumbo-jumbo about crack being no more dangerous than alcohol is naive reasoning in my opinion.The goverment scientists who came up with that kind of conclusions have obviously never been out in the street.

"I'm pointing out the logical consequences of your statements. If you don't like them, rethink your statements."

And my opinion is your logic just won't work if it ever did actually come to fruition. I too feel the WOD is an exercise in futility.But you know and I know it's going to be a long time before Heroin and crack are legal in the US.
