Thank you my boy, for showing us your true stripe as a socialistic prohibitionist.

Socialism is a ECONOMIC theory. Why you tag it to your supposed right to do hard drugs is beyond me.

Good grief. It is also a POLITICAL theory, as is prohibitionism. Why you advocate them is beyond all common sense.

Why you tag it to your supposed right to do hard drugs is beyond me.

I'm not the only one here at FR that does so. Here's a simple explanation as to 'why', -- that I agree with. Can you refute its premise?

"There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that authorizes the federal government to wage war against the citizens of the United States, no matter how well-meaning the intent. The Bill of Rights means just as much today, as it did on the day it was written. And its protections are just as valid and just as important to freedom today, as they were to our Founders two hundred years ago. The danger of the drug war is that it erodes away those rights. Once the fourth amendment is meaningless, it's just that much easier to erode away the first and then the second, etc. Soon we'll have no rights at all." Jim Robinson, 5/9/01 155
