Meanwhile, back on the looney farm...
While we have set child murderers loose upon our society so that they can murder again (to refresh your memory, click --> Here <-- or --> Here <--), another example of the failure of keeping drugs illegal splashes its ugly face across our headlines.
Okay, it's a bit of a stretch to use the fall of this Evangelical Christian man as an argument against criminalized drugs. Then again, is it? After all, here's a pillar of our society, the exemplar extraordinaire of above-par morality and behavior, and he's buying meth (which he didn't inhale, puhleeeze bite me) and diddling a male prostitute (quite good-looking, btw). Isn't this a sign that sending people to prison for using drugs in the privacy of their own homes is just a goddamn waste? That if a person--even a person pursuing a so-called moral life of the highest order--wants to get these drugs not only can they but they will?
Aren't our tax dollars better spent keeping murderers in prison forever? Aren't our tax dollars better spent defending and protecting our borders against violent criminals than going after pot smokers? You think that keeping drugs criminalized protects your children? Really? Then how do you explain that we set child murderers free to murder more children while someone carrying a pound of pot has been locked away for life due to federal sentencing guidelines? How do you splain this, Loocy?
