TW, you have a piss poor argument there, I have debated this with you before and I will tell you that Fouled up people do fouled up things, I know you take a drink on occasion. Does that make you a street bum ?
You base your opinion on a couple isolated incidents with out any real genuine knowledge of what you are talking about.

All I am trying to correlate, is legalization and the welfare state will go hand in hand, and grow even BIGGER. Thus having tax dollars go to support a GROWING number of zombie burnouts.

Do a lot of folks smoke dope, have a job, know a trade, sure,....Just ask those union guys at Chrysler. They are now on the Obama Plan, collecting unemployment.

Which BTW, we working folks pay for.

For someone so opposed to a "nanny" state, why would you be a proponent of a policy that will make it worse?



What you need to do is find a Political party that advocates legalization of drugs and an end to the Welfare State.

A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.

"America is broken because the American family is broken. We can't run our own families and we expect to run an entire country? It's time to put the Lord back in the driver's seat. We cheat on our wives, fall into drugs, are abusive, unfaithful, unloving, etc. yet we (think we can) teach our kids to grow up and be faithful, sober, loving, slow to anger? This country is falling apart at the seams because the American family is falling apart at the seams...What this country needs more than anything right now is a revival of the Spirit and the family."
CZRev

not another bong hit....

OBTW, I have been there and done that,....biggest waste of time, money, (although, there are great memories  ::)) I guess at some point everyone just grows up.

Didn't want to be stoned around my son,...kinda a bigger perspective....But hey, to each his own,...

But you will drink in front of him ?  ::)

What America needs is for the old biddies of both genders to fix their own problems and quit trying to tell every one else how to live.
You know I think you are a good guy, I don't mean to pick on you, but if all the bible thumpers trying to tell me the one and only "Right way to live" would STFU and pay their mortgages and credit cards America would be in much better shape.
As a side note, I know several potheads at work. The only guy who voted for Obummer wasn't one of them. Think about that.

Some potheads do vote for bad candidates and for stupid reasons. I knew one doper who voted for Clinton because he thought Clinton could and would legalise pot.  ::)

 The war on drugs was declared, not for any health reason, or as an anti crime initiative, It was started so that the about to be laid off Prohibition agents, and the LE network they spawned, Lawyers, judges, cops etc. would not be thrown out of work during the depression, (while the Govt was paying farmers a subsidy to grow weed. ) They could instead go to work arresting blacks and Mexicans who were the primary users, this would free up jobs for whites.
After the billions of dollars spent annually to fight this war, the price of Cocaine is about a 10th what it was in 1970
it wasn't until later that the politicians realized what great cover it was for abridging your rights, No knock searches and asset forfeiture are the 2 that come to mind first.
Did you know that if you are arrested for dealing they seize all your assets, Guns, jewelry property etc. and auction it off, it gets split between every one involved except you, and this often happens before you ever go to trial, Found not guilty ?
Tough shit you get nothing back.

Any one who supports this stupidity deserves the Govt he is now getting.
