Residue comes in all forms. If Ozzy Osbourne weren't rich, for example, my tax dollars would be providing care. My tax dollars go to clean up meth labs, and pays for the care of crack babies. If I have to pay for cleanup, it's not a victimless 'crime.' If I have to pay for any part of it, then it's my business.
As I've said before, the War on Drugs has proven to be a failure. On the flip side, there's no problem we face that gets better with increased drug use. So it's no win, and I get to follow behind the party metaphorically speaking with a scoop shovel.
It doesn't matter what I think anyway because we're headed there. Fifty years from now it will be viewed as a foolish experiment. But, that's not your problem, right?
"Don't harsh my mellow, dude!!!"
Only because meth is illegal and thus unregulatable - notice how your tax dollars don't go to clean up moonshine stills.
and pays for the care of crack babies. If I have to pay for cleanup, it's not a victimless 'crime.'
If you and I have to pay for cleanup, it's the program and government imposing that requirement that's violating our rights. You and I pay for the cleanup of alcohol abuse, heavy tobacco use, and overeating ... are those acts therefore violations of our rights?
