My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

Listen cowpoke, you're working backwards.
No legit buisness can deal in drugs because they are illegal.
This leads to a vaccum
This vaccum gets filled by peolpe who stab people
This vaccum turns into dog-eat-dog
The violence gets ramped up
By legalising the drugs these things will end, just like the mafia got out of the alcohol buisness.

Sure, I agree with all of that.
But as long as things remain the way they are, I'm not touching that stuff. If the situation changes, and it's sold by government outlets, for example, then the situation changes, of course(though I still doubt that I will try it, I love my beer).
Bottom line is; I'm not going to fill the coffers of a crook. No way Jose. Don't care how great his offer is, I won't take it.

But do you agree with laws based on cultural and emotional responses or do you think there should be some method or evidence behind such decisions?
I wouldn't touch heroin and cocaine if it was legal. I'm just not interested.
Not so at all. Most drug users are responsible people. Do you think everyone you see sat in a pub or stood outside smoking a cigarette is a wild and dangerous person?
