Nope - not my point at all. These MILLIONS of people wouldn't be alcoholics if alcohol were illegal. Alcohol would be too hard to obtain. But with easy access, hey, anybody can become an alcoholic. But I guess that's their legal right - to become alcoholics, if they so choose. Right? Same with cigarettes. Same with anything. Make it legal and provide easy access to it - anybody can become addicted to anything. And even with the substances that are illegal, the pro-drug people seem to have no trouble finding them, or selling them to your children.
sound familiar?
"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
--Abraham Lincoln (1809-65), U.S. President. Speech, 18 Dec. 1840, to Illinois House of Representatives
He may be correct. You come off as ill advised and contradictory almost to the point of hypocrisy. Your personal page here would lead one to suspect that you are a lover of liberty, but conversing with you makes one think that you are more of a lover of the progressive era and its present nanny state hangover.
That, and you seem like a thin skinned whiner. Oh well, it will just give you fuel to complain about those meanie libertarians that made you (hopefully) second guess your principles, but most probably just raised your blood pressure and made your head heart.
