You like to criticize. Its easy to criticize, any brain dead zombie can do that. People who criticize without offering alternatives are generally of low intelligence. I am not impressed with simple criticism. People who offer alternatives, on the other had, are demonstrating that they are applying themselves. Is there a problem with my proposal? Ok, explain where it fails. Offer an alternative to my proposal, otherwise:
1) just accept the fact that you are a moron, dude. Its ok.
2) don't try to participate in the intelligent discussion that goes on in this forum, dude. Try a Playstation forum...maybe you'll learn some really cool game cheats.
3) and know that when you really are this stupid that self-gratification (such as screwing yourself) is the best thing that you can offer to society. It keeps you out of the way.
The WOD is big government tyranny. Forcing me to accept and pay the costs of unrestricted drugs is also big government tyranny.
I'm offering a solution that shifts the burden of usage away from the general public and to the user, with minimal government involvement. I've discovered that most drug users will only approve of a system that the rest of society has to pay for or doesn't inconvenience them. I'm not a socialist and I don't want to pay for someone else's recreation. Offer a better solution.
Free drugs? Prescriptions? Legalization? So who is going to pick up the bill for the increase in addiction, overdoses and worktime losses? How do you keep the heroin addicts off the street? Most Libertarians like to point to the example of Denmark and other Socialist countries. But they like to ignore the fact that these systems depend upon socialized medicine and big goverment programs to work.
Keep things the same? The WOD comes out of everyone's pockets; users and non-users.
Offer a better solution. Otherwise, I recommend following the steps that I've enumerated above.
Is there a problem with my proposal? Ok, explain where it fails.It fails in the same fashion as Hillarycare, ballistic fingerprinting, and most other goverment programs that are for "our own good."
Free drugs? Who called for that, not me. Prescriptions? Legalization? So who is going to pick up the bill for the increase in addiction, overdoses and worktime losses? you assert that but the experience of Prohibition doesn't bear that out, al least not the calamity you imply. How do you keep the heroin addicts off the street? Hwo does it now? What about the winos? who pays for that? Should we register drunks?
As the article stated, we spend trillions (with a "T") on this failed "war". For that kind of dough, we could deal with a few problem addicts and still give you a good chunk of change back. Oh, and my 4th ammendment rights as well, if you don't mind.
You get a little touchy when your ox is in line for a goreing I see (my original post). You belie the weakness of your position by your sophomoric insults. But, hey, have a nice day anyway.
