Gotta wonder if he's waiting on the 25th anniversary to cut an album. Bootlegs of their new stuff are all over the place.
So then you’re admitting that drug laws really aren’t about public safety.
Give us back our full RKBA and we'd have a lot more to say about things when "Let's roll" comes around.
Sorry, the way we are doing things isn't working. Period.
The reason it is going on is because drugs have been decriminalized.
Mexico decriminalized ALL drugs including opiates, LCD, and heroin. It’s cheaper to buy heroin or LSD than to buy a beer in and around the border.
Illegal aliens, crossing the border, recognizing the market for drugs and the lack of imprisonment for nearly any crime of a personal nature in some quantities, have nothing to risk by bringing some illegal drugs across the border on foot and selling it for cash the deeper into our country they migrate.
The solution to the problem isn’t from without but from within. From God’s perspective, man isn’t breaking the Law, rather the Law breaks man. If people want to avoid problems, all they have to do is respect legitimate authority and follow His guidance in what He provides. Just like myself, though, we all slip and get arrogant thinking we can get along on our own independent of Him, and we get bit. Some more so than others.
The WOP was a liberal trap to break down the tradional black family and enslave them in welfare dependent gubmint programs.
And what do you think the “War on Drugs” is? It’s not an actual war. You’re not going to get rid of demand. So someone is going to supply, organized criminal elements, at a high cost to society in general. The prohibition of alcohol had the same outcome. As for related crimes, we already have laws against robbery, burglary, etc.
Whatever works for you though...
Yes. Have you? Apparently not...

As long as you're waiving the white flag, I guess you'll want to surrender in the WOT too.
And their just like the "L"'s in California ... Shall we say uhhhh very large men, Caucasian, intelligent ... but couldn't get 'lucky' in a Arkansas trailer Park with a wallet full of hundred dollar bills and fifty pounds of blow?
That's why they want open borders ... they believe there is bound be some poor starving Third World wench who (after shutting her eyes and holding her nose) would give it up to one of them.
“If this stuff is killing customers, it isn’t because it’s “pure,” it’s because they cut it with something lethal.”
I suspect you are correct.
Hmmm.....I guess it depends on how you define "public". I hate innocents being harmed by druggies. Drug laws are about the safety of people NOT using drugs.
Oh, well. There's a few cuts of "Crash and Burn", and several others, on the web that sound almost studio quality, anyway.
Sort like our leaders killing off the customers of manufactured products by killing the jobs.
But if there are no consequences for irrational or irresponsible behavior, there's really no such thing as irrational or irresponsible behavior.
They’re. Not their. The rest of your post is about the same intellectual equivalent.
“An Associated Press review of drug overdose data shows that so-called “black tar” heroin — named for its dark, gooey consistency — and other forms of the drug are contributing to a spike in overdose deaths across the nation and attracting a new generation of users who are caught off guard by its potency.”
This stuff has been around a long time.
The biggest name in Libertarianism today, Ron Paul, wants to build a massive concrete-and-barbed-wire fence along the entirety of the southern Border.
The second-biggest name in Libertarianism today, Rand Paul, not only wants a fence -- he wants to militarize the Border against Illegal Immigration, with regular military patrols and everything, just like a real National Border.
I guess that you might be stuck in some hazy, unformed 1970s-era conception of Libertarianism; but the most prominent names in Libertarianism today have come to the conclusion that American Property Rights outweigh Illegal Immigrants' Freedom of Movement (Trespassing!), and have taken policy positions accordingly.
So I don't really know what you're arguing about. The only libertarians who are actually getting elected to Congress, are staunchly Pro-Border Security.
If you did a little more investigating of the world around you, you might have noticed that. (Just a suggestion, that's all).

Sorry for the double post. Mex Maxima Culpa.
