  Frankly; I am of the opinion that we have been too lenient with drug smugglers/pushers..execution is not out of order(IMO) considering how many people they kill and how many families they destroy. As I see it, the user is an enemy of our country by supporting an illegal smuggling industry. Even the domestic illicit drug business makes much money and doesn't pay taxes on it..but cost the taxpayers much for their addicts that need hospitalization, rehab, repairs and crime.
  It may seem harsh, but swift justice and execution for anyone in the production & distribution of such should be the practice. Part of the problem with capital punishment now, is the inmterminable years that go by with them living off the rest of us.
   Not being a user of drugs, alcohol, tobacco or any other addictive substance, the either/or argument is not germain as I see it. For instance, Dale says he loves his daughter very much and I am sure he does. ..But then he goes on to say he would rather have her smoke some pot than to become an alcoholic. Nobody wants their child to be addicted to anything, but the idea that it should be one or the other is rather specious. My wife and I have been married for 52 years, raised two sons and 4 grandchildren and none are addicted to anything..simply because they don't use any addictive substances. So you see, a person doesn't HAVE to maintain a "habit".
    I think on this one, Alsaqr and Rex are right..we should not coddle the buyers of illegal substances either..Jail, with hard labor, at least as much as they can stand, is in order. Let's face it, many criminals are involved in criminal activity because they want money without working for it! This would be a chance to learn what labor is about..little rocks from big rocks, if nothing else..
   Some try to equate their or otrher's drug use as "freedom". I wouldn't care so much if they only hurt themselves, but when some drug-crazed individual runs a stolen car down the freeway at 100 mph and kills a family..that's not "freedom". When some drug-crazed nut rapes and/or kills a little child,..that's not freedom. When some drug soaked loser costs taxpayers $100,000 for rehab & repairs (perhaps several times over)..that's not freedom.
  The prison for the addicts should be secure and not a "Club Gitmo". More like "Stalag 17" would be better; if prison were unpleasant, fewer would want a return trip. As far as guards furnishing dope to the dopes..that makes them a pusher and pushers get snuffed.
  Tex has the idea..perhaps incoming dope should be treated and let go, but first with a warning to the drug-using populace that the next thing they smoke, sniff, inject or whatever..may be their last..
  There; I have said all these things, knowing they will not be enacted ..simply because many people don't believe that evil exists or that there is any right or wrong. In fact they get to the point where they cannot TELL right from wrong; only "if it feels good, do it!"  ....And so we will plod on toward our national destruction..

if   a moron  jumps  off  a bridge

do  you tear down the bridge??

freedom  isn't free  some times  it kills

so  i guess  TOTAL government control  is good  and safe

45-70gov: It was John Stark who said, "Live free or die!" It became our state motto here in NH. John was a Captain in Roger's Rangers during the 7 Years War and was known to be a pisser of a rifle shot and a cool head when things got exciting. As one of the few semi-qualified military men available he was made a General in the Revolutionary War. Sadly his ideals are now lacking in NH as the Dems are running the state into the ground. We are still holding out against a state income tax and a general sales tax but it looks very gloomy.

You can bet the Mexican Gov. is not trying to stop people from coming here
I do not remember what the amount of dollars that is estimated to be sent
back to Mex. each mon. by illegal workers in the U.S.
It is amazing how many check cashing places their are in North Ft. Worth
they can also send cash any where for you, but they specialize in sending
it to Mexico. This Money is not spent in the U.S. and is estimated at over 50%
of what they make. This money helps the U.S. economy not one bit, why not
tax this money we have the records, they would tax me if i was sending it
and don't tell me they pay taxes where they work, they all have 12-15 dependents how much taxes you think they pay.

what  if its  a kid selling??

what   happened  to parents raising  kids to know better?

the government takes kids  from  fathers  then  wonders why kids go bad
mothers are  too weak to raise some boys
so  put freedom  on a back burner  so mothers  can have it easy raising kids  and collecting child support  form  the guy  that  needs to kick  the kids butt

  45/70;
  The injustice of our "justice system" is getting to be a joke..a painful one, but still a joke!

i  KNOW  we  all  want the same  thing
just disagree on how to acheive  it

i  hope  no one  thinks  i am in any way in favor  of drug use
freedom  is  more  important  to me than the life of a drug addict

with  all  the laws and penalties  it is a thriveing  market  that  is un taxed
with out buyers  deallers are out of work

how  many died during prohibition??
tax  money spent  and  lost?
