Your tax dollars at work!

Who cares if someone is hurting themselves?

Because drug use often results in crimes on others to obtain money
to support the habit, especially with hard drugs like cocaine.


Quiz time, Jim. Think about violence related to the manufacture,
transport and sale of alcoholic beverages. When is the last time you
heard of that kind of violence SPECIFICALLY related to booze?


That has nothing to do with Fred's question. Nice try.


It has everything to do with it. But, I'm not surprised you missed it.
Hint: Forget the words "drug use" and think about the word "crimes".
Or, substitute "violence".


If you do not see the correlation between hard drug use and crimes
against others that is your problem Joe. The subject of the thread has
to do with cocaine, not alcohol.

Only a fool would deny the parallels between Prohibition and the current
War on Some Drugs.

JimH cannot acknowledge the parallels because he would have to admit that
the war on drugs is absurd. That, in turn, would threaten the simplicity
he requires in order to get through life.


Another thread ends up in the toilet thanks to our 2 outstanding
contributors.

If you hadn't pretended not to see the point, this would not have happened.
If you were not pretending, but actually did NOT see the point, you need to
think longer before typing.
