think they're ignorant and lazy. Less people to arrest if drugs are legal, doncha know.

Oh, and they wish to legalize ALL drugs. You want that? You agree with that?

Still think these guys are "outstanding"?


I have had some rational discussions with you in the past. Even though we have disagreed we have not yet resorted to insults. I hope that will continue. Yes I do. I have been fortunate in the fact that I have some age and with that comes experience. I have been able to associate with what some would consider low class people who have used drugs. Hard drugs. I have also had the opportunity to associate with some very high class, and political people. I understand both sides very well. This is an advantage that most law makers do not experience. Law enforcement usually only experience things on that level. Many times seeing the worst of everything. To understand it is a benefit. Now before you begin to think the worst of me I must tell you that during my life many people have stopped using hard drugs because of me and my influence. But I believe in legalization because under most instances these people have a very low education level. As with many I know that have tried hard drugs they had enough smarts to realize that it was not worth it and it was doing their bodies much harm rapidly. Those that cannot break it on their own need help. By the Church or even the Gov. It would be cheaper than the war we cannot gain ground on. Those officers were doing exactly what I expect them to do. Tell The truth. I know you don't believe me but, the Gov. has misled you with their stats, commercials, and frying pans. But only people with experience can tell you the truth. But we have been demonized so people like yourself will not listen. A wise man once told me you can make stats say anything you want. And I'll tell you sir the entire political system is nothing more than high priced theater. Remember, I'm not asking you to believe me just remember what was said. I could get lost on this topic so I will yield for your response. Hope it was clear I tried to cover a wide range there.

You wish to legalize all drugs. That's absolute insanity. We are so far apart on this issue, there's no debating it.

"It would be cheaper than the war"

You cannot possibly know that.

"But only people with experience can tell you the truth."

And what would that be? Drugs are good? Drugs are safe? Drugs don't ruin lives? Drugs don't place a burden on others? Drugs aren't degrading to the human spirit?

What could they possibly tell me? I really would like to know what you're talking about.
