As I said before, I don’t remember why we “went along with it”. As for the doctor, I don’t know how much input he had; he might have approved.

He’s the new sheriff in town. Criminals beware.

Best to get to the root of the problem rather than only treat the symptom, wouldn’t you agree?

Let’s have the guts to REALLY make America great again!

I saw the speech. To my mind what Trump did was start a conversation on the subject. I’m glad he did it.

How about we start with people who don’t have a license and are peddling illegal drugs?

We can have a national conversation about legal dealers while we’re having the illegal ones stood up against a wall and shot. :-)

China is totally right on drugs. A few weeks back I watched a very graphic 20 minute Chinese film on what drug dealers can expect. The film showed a very attractive Chinese girl in her early twenties. They had film of her trial, her sentencing and then her execution.
Bottom line; she sold drugs and now doesn’t.

The root of the problem has nothing to do with drugs at all, so going after the root problem will require a lot more than grabbing some pusher off the street or out of the corporate office. The drug use is merely a symptom.

What you are suggesting is going after someone who is operating within the law, even only if just barely. And in that respect it may be more useful to jail teachers.

I’m saying we should go after those who are clearly operating outside long established laws.

Imprison or execute those around whom there is no controversy.

I’m still suspicious of your motives to muddy the waters.

Thanks——I certainly wasn’t criticizing I was just curious.

I don’t mind your suspicions of my intellect, although in light of that suspicion it’s surprising you haven’t made a single argument against my proposals.

Why are you willing to muddy the waters?

I don’t dispute what you say.

Just that your solution deals with the symptom of the problem.

Public school indoctrination and drug pushing and feminizing the boys and Common Core are what sets the stage for many, if not most, of this country’s problems.

And apathetic parents have their nose in it as well.

Since you seem to be overly concerned with my motivation, it is simply this: to work toward securing the blessings of liberty - for us and posterity as well.

Precious few in these United States love liberty.

Neither of our proposals deal with the root of the problem, only the symptoms. My proposal simply targets the easy, and cleane symptoms first.

That Target is the drug dealer on the ‘street corner’.

The root problems are spiritual in nature.

“The root problems are spiritual in nature.”

I see you’re really getting down to brass tacks here.

Agree.
