Quote:I didn't say that, I do however support a free market deciding what's tolerably and what's not over a selected minority in a distant office passing laws. I'm not an anarchist but I also don't subscribe to the notion we need regulations and restrictions to prevent people from doing bad things.


As an employer I don't want my employees on heroin, as a landlord I wouldn't allow my tenants to use heroin, as a bank I wouldn't lend money to people that used heroin. A removal of restrictions and regulations would also be a removing of publicly funded programs that allow individuals making poor to destructive choices to survive in society.


there's some merit to what Tommy's saying I don't know if he realizes the full implications of it, but it's there.

You say this now but what happens if your kids become wrapped up in that kind of world? You can bet your life you'd wish they wouldn't have had access to it then.


Now normally I'm not one for government intervention/regulation and I am completely in favor of legalizing marijuana (even though I don't smoke), but some things just make sense. Keeping things such as heroin, crack, meth, etc. off the streets is absolutely the right thing to do.


Obviously people still use it and there is crime as a result but I truly believe that this is the lesser of two evils.
