The current administration needs to be sold this idea......
If terrorists fund their nefarious activities with money made from the illegal drug trade - eliminate the profit motive - legalize it!
Additional benefits - if legal - manufacturers will be held to a standard of purity and quality - impacting overdoses, getting something other than what you are told you are getting, etc etc etc.
The arguments are old and many - hopefully Canada and Europe will in this case lead the way and demonstrate that this is a health issue - not a criminal one.
All the things that addicts do that are illegal to secure funding to buy their drugs are illegal without reference to the reason they commit the crime - why compound the folly with bullshit........ok I am rambling |
Agreed !

Nature abhors a vacuum and religion is a powerful civilizing and socializing force. It is not perfect, but at least it does not deny human nature. Most leftest ideology is based upon the idea that evil is the result of social conditions/injustice, and simple misunderstandings. Man's nature is seen as both inherently good and infinitely malleable. It is believed that man can be made into something better through education and other social endeavors. The truth is that human nature is not inherently good and neither is terribly changable. Any system that denies the truth about human nature will be the victim of it. Communism is only one of the more horrific examples of this fundamental truth.
I understand why you're a socialist. You want to make the world a better place. What you need to understand is that not everyone can be helped and those who can are best served by providing them with the opportunity to help themselves.
