“I heard Ron Paul debate another party yesturday, he wants to legalize drugs. What an idiot!”
Liberty is dangerous. I guess you are afraid of it.
If some idjit wants to poison themselves, is it Constitutional to stop them? Add in all the other Drug War spending and intrusion like no-knock raids, and you edge closer to a police state. I’m on the same page as Clarence Thomas, in this regard.
If you want to do something about drugs in this country, start with a wall on the southern border - maybe with minefields.
I will never support legalizing drugs just to save monies, which is what Ron Pauls arguement is from his own lips.
It isn’t about what a person chooses to do under the constitution...it’s the constitution defends me and my family from all the fallout that abuse of drugs creates.
Look at Aphganistan and other countries where the dope flows...their children are fed the crap and we wonder why their ability to reason is so screwed up.
The reason we have so many regulations is Yes, because people show no self control today, nor do they have any concern for what they do and affects on others..that goes from the home to business to governance. Too much freedom in this day without some degree of regulating or outlawing would be chaos...and that would indeed frighten me.
