SC Rep. Debate

[Gawain of Orkeny]

The though of legalizing drugs repulses me, but I simply cannot come up with another answer that makes sense. Once legalized, however, I think we'll be writing off a ridiculously high percentage of the next generation of younglings before the real lessons sink in. Makes me sad that I can't think of a better way.

Would you believe I grew up before there were drug laws? That I never even heard of pot in HS? No drug laws no drug problem. Once they put the profit in it it the cat was out of the bag as they say. The little bastard isnt going to be easy to put back in the bag.

If you remove the profit from it theres not going to be much crime associated with it any longer. Addicts wont have to rob to get enough money to get high and their wont be any money in selling it illegally. The worst youd have is people trying to avoid the taxes.

As to the kids the easiest place to find drugs is the local HS. Id make drugs legal but if you sell them to a minor your gone. No plea bargain. Im a firm believer in giving people a lot of slack(responsibilty) but if they abuse it a lot of punishment.

If drugs are ever legalised here, I'll throw a fit if one dime of my money goes to paying for some imbecile's hospital fees when they overdose.

On topic, I'm with ya PJ. Soo aggravating listening to these GOP voters calling in NPR today to say that no matter what, they will never vote for anyone who isn't pro-life.

Giuliani fits my bill pretty well, fiscally conservative, but morally liberal to a point. Stand up guy he is. I like to think that not all GOPers are Religious Morons. It'd be nice to see for ONCE just ONCE to have a Prez who didn't wave his money in your face, and also go to church once a month and then also throw that in your face.

The taxes collexted will more than pay for that. Plus the huge savings in law enforcement.

This might be interesting to see an expansion on.

Its just my sense of disgust with all politics in General... though I'm just as equally disgusted with the Dems.

Man, you're gonna have a tough next 18 months, if you watch TV at all. Good luck.

Depressing, ain't it?
