"This defendant is a poster child against the argument for drugs being legalized," Superior Court Judge Stephen Ashworth said. "Not that he's not responsible. But if it wasn't for drugs, this never would have happened."

Lock him up and throw away the key.

I think this guy is a scumbag and deserves what he gets for huring someone else.

But despite prohibition, he apparantly had no problem getting what he wanted.

And I can think of oh say, a few thousand instances where alcohol caused people to do dumb, even dangerous things. Things that get people killed all the time. Things like drunk driving, getting into fights while drunk, etc...

A while back, Carrie Nation and her temperence buddies decided if they just made alcohol illegal, all those problems would just -poof- go away. They didn't and we still had all the problems of alcohol, plus the problems of prohibition. Things like Al Capone and gang wars, things like the Gun Control Act of '32 that infringe upon freedom until this day.

Aint no teacher like history.

Another graduate seminar? The tone is just too elevated on these Jihad threads to entice a country boy like me to join in! ;^)
