The treatment of addicts is not a reward.

So, the legalization of drugs is "treatment"? LOL.

Laugh away, pup. -- That was Caltrops concept, at #18.

Why should your socialistic opinion about libertarians be viewed as honest?

Sorry, the FACT that I do not agree with the legalization of drugs does NOT make me a socialist.

Sorry, but I differ, and the facts in the article support my view. Why don't you try refuting them to make your case?

So you know...I am a rightwing conservative, MANY gun owner, christian.

Then you should realise that supporting the drug war works against your self interest.

Perhaps, you'd be better served by surfing over to the Ultra Liberal website that bears your moniker?

Thanks, but having been here for five years, FR 'serves' me fine, -- and the closet socialists here are about all I can stomach.

Actually, I don't think drugs should be legalized but should be distributed at cost by the various local Boards of Health to those certified as drug addicted. My sole interest is in eliminating the profit in addictive drugs. I couldn't care less about the drug addicts as I'm convinced they're beyond help.

The only people who seem to oppose my solution, interestingly, seem to be Christians who think it isn't Christian to not try to help the drug addicts. They never seem to care about those who, by continuing the current policy, are going to be induced into the drug culture and wind up in prison, prostitution and drug induced misery.

Who said I support the drug war? Where are you reading THAT from? You're all over the road.
