Very astute, Sherlock, since this is a Ron Paul thread. Ron Paul threads attract two types of people - those who like Ron Paul, and trolls.
Incidentally, I felt no need to give my bona fides like you did in your post trashing those for legalization, but it just so happens that I have never in my life imbibed a single mind-altering substance, not even a beer. As I see it, there are two consistent positions - banning all mind altering substances (including alcohol), or legalization across the board. As I am libertarian leaning, and cognizant that this Republic somehow survived for well over a century with no drug laws, I lean towards legalization. But banning all drugs, including alcohol, is fine with me as well.
I don't even have a problem with the concept of the War on Drugs, just how it is being prosecuted. If you want to get rid of prostitution, you start arresting the Johns. If you seriously want to end the drug problem in this country, just make the punishment so severe that no one takes drugs anymore. That works just fine in Arab countries, where those in possession as executed.
I also enjoy the name-calling that is bandied about by the trolls on Ron Paul threads: Ru Paul, Paulistinians, ect. "Libertard" is a new one to me. Thanks for sharing.
as executed = are executed
Looks like a really am a “libertard” :-(
