No, good analogy.
Just as the gun grabbers are wrong, so are the Reefer Madness hyperbolists.
Curren drug laws not only increase drug abuse they make criminals out of medical patients ala Rush Limbaugh.
Designer drugs are a direct result of the WOD, attempting to skirt the law by slightly altering the chemical structure of other illegal drugs.
The WOD also corrupts police and the judiciary.
Nice to see where your priorities are when you defend the WOD.
Reefer Madness? This goes FAR beyond "Reefer Madness" into the legalization of every narcotic known to man. An absurd proposition, by any account.
Curren drug laws not only increase drug abuse they make criminals out of medical patients ala Rush Limbaugh.
That statement is beyond absurd. As a current addicted prescription user of oxycontin/vicodin, I am asking you, do you have any idea what doses are involved to cause hearing loss?
The WOD also corrupts police and the judiciary.
I know. I am not in favor of the current state of affairs, and I have said as much.
Nice to see where your priorities are when you defend the WOD.
I do not defend the WOD. I have stated several times on this thread that I believe the current federal incarnation to be malformed, and that it not only removes vital personal rights, but states rights also, and gives them unlawfully to the federal government. I am *not* for that, and require that those rights are removed from the federal government with all due haste.
But neither do I subscribe to your rather narrow "Do your own thing" view. There will be no way to remove the burgeoning welfare system without addressing the flotsam left in the wake of drug abuse. Nor will drug abuse be curtailed without reducing the welfare system. One creates the other.
