because thinking that people are just going to do it in the privacy of their own homes is crazy. they said people could drink just don't do it and drive, could you believe it? people still drink and drive.
So, by logical extension, you are therefore advocating the reinstatement of prohibition? Here's a quick newsflash: people drank and drove
even when it was illegal to do so!
i never said it affects your actions, i said it affects you. if mr smith loses his job cause he's so doped up he can't make to work and has to get on wellfare, meanwhile driving up your taxes to pay for his broke ass, this doesn't affect you? oh i get it, this doesn't happen in lala land does it. this is just one situation but i could name more.
This is so amazingly far from a good debating tactic that I'm really quite loathe to even address it. However, I will note that right now,
this very second my taxes are exorbitantly high because the Mrs. Kravitz Goosestep Brigade is so afraid that someone might toke up that they've convinced the federal government to spend quite literally tens of billions of taxpayer dollars annually on militarizing the police, international drug interdiction, to say nothing of their often strikingly fallacious and downright condescending "education" campaigns.
On top of it all, even though I am not a recreational drug user, my Fourth amendment rights have most obviously been abrogated, to say nothing of the government's flagrant use of asset forfeiture laws.
But you know what's really strikingly ironic about the whole mess?
No matter how tight the laws...
No matter how scary looking the fed ninja squads...
No matter how screechy and alarmist the federal propaganda machine is...
Aboslutely none of it stops Johnny the fifteen year-old wastoid from getting himself a dimebag.
And yet people like WEPS and Ryan in the House continue to advocate the same idiotic, anti-freedom platform that has so obviously failed.
I mean, for crying out loud, even National Review admitted that the entire Drug War has been one massive socioeconomic black hole of utter, contemptible failure.
But hey, maybe you have a plan to win The War on Drugs without stomping all over my civil rights.
