The Problem With The War On Drugs

[Louis VI the Fat]

Sometimes you're too much of a polemicist for your own good.

Let’s go through point by point the mind numbing stupidity and intellectual dishonesty that is the op

Non! There is never too much polemicism!

Rather than mere name-calling, one can ask why people think what they think. How come that in the course of the past ten years America went from overwhelmingly homophobic to overwhelmingly liberal on the issue? Is it because Americans became mind numbing smart and intellectually honest, or because of other mechanisms? In case of the latter, what mechanisms?


If the drugs issue was described in other terminology, say a liberal policy as a source of national pride, then we'd have an entirely different thread here. ('You Euros may not like freedom very much, but we Americans don't like our government telling us which recreational drugs we can and can not use')

I don't like the government telling me what drugs I can use. I despise even more the "war on drugs"
