Good shot? Hardly. Just another drug war supporter who posted in knee jerk fashion without even bothering to even read the article, as pointed out quite effectively by ConservingFreedom.

Just so with people like you who don't bother to grasp the point being made by my comment.

The ENTIRE federal government is abusive. You people want to single out just those aspects that touch on drugs because your real agenda is to undermine the interdiction of drugs.

You only care about federal abuses which interfere with your weed smoking.

Personally, I've noticed that the loudest voices in favor of the war on drugs seem to be profiting the most from it.

I don't work in law enforcement, I don't have anything whatsoever to do with the "war on drugs" I make absolutely no money from it, and never have.

And now here you come along like a little weeny and impugn the motives of people who are opposed to drug addiction spreading through our society. Not really surprised that was the best you could do. Most Libertarian arguments end up as ad hominem squabbles anyway.

My apologies if my comment about the WOD profiteers doesn't apply to you personally. It's just an observation that I've found to be generally true over the years in more cases than not.

Actually not. I agree wholeheartedly with your first sentence. However, I call out Fedgov everywhere I see abuses, be it their snooping on us at every conceivable level, their abuse of environmental law, civil asset forfeiture, their constant attacks on the 2nd amendment, or any of the other endless overreaches of the Fedgov leviathan. The whole WOD thing comes up often because it is one of the most obvious and destructive of their efforts to subvert our Republic.

Yeah, noone against the WOD could ever be taking a principled stand against it. Only people with their mind addled with intoxicants could possibly be concerned about the abuses of our legal system employed on its behalf.

For the record, I don't do any drugs. I don't particularly like even taking aspirin. I drink the occasional quality beer, but not to the point that it will cause me to shoot at tax collectors - and miss.

You might want to rethink your notion that only druggies oppose the WOD. Some of us simply believe the "cure" is worse than the "disease".
