A large amount of folks on FR seem to like *some* laws(the ones they personally like) and the jack booted thugs that enforce them, even if it means killing your dog, and possibly driving an armored vehicle through your home while doing it. Of course, they dislike “big government”, but they don’t mind when it’s the ‘big government’ they personally approve of.

Ignore this guy. He thinks the word "Freedom" means license to do drugs. "Liberty" to use drugs is about the only freedom these libertarian types seem to think worthy of discussing.

If you believe that drugs are a threat to society, then he puts you into the "Jackbooted thug fascist Dictator opposed to freedom" camp.

Libertarians cannot refrain from being childish about their pet drug issue.

Your government sponsored WOD did nothing but create more government control, more laws, more regulations, more government bureaucracy. The government unions love it, as they created and built more courts, more prisons, more police and on and on...It expanded the size and role of government dramatically.

Yet the same exact people who created this epic assault on America, left our violent chaotic borders wide open...

I am a libertarian and I don't use drugs, but I recognize a slippery slope when I see one. When a person's actions hurt another person, punish him. But, please, LEAVE ME ALONE! The individual is being legislated out of existence.

Yep, and as long police don't kick down the wrong door at 0200 and open fire on you with less restrictive rules of engagement than the Marines in Afghanistan, life is good.

After all why would anyone be concerned, as long as the law is enforced and the police get to go home and the end of the day? Everything else is just the price of freedom. /sarc

I didn’t say a word about “drugs”.

On the other hand, I was pulled over by a state trooper a few weeks back. He supposedly “smelled alcohol”.(alcohol has NEVER been in my vehicle)

I got the full treatment with the field sobriety test, which I passed, but he have me the breath test anyway, because me eyes “looked red”. After blowing a 0.0 BAC, he gives me a ticket for failure to obey a road sign. (which was covered up by a fallen tree)

I didn’t even bother with arguing with the asshole, because I was afraid he might “see”, or “smell” something else....

The ticket netted the state over $150. Not bad for a few minutes of harassment I reckon....

(you actually DEFEND such things?...)
