I am not sure what to make of your last comment, as logically one cannot be PRO something and AGAINST something at the same time. If the above quote is not about legalizing hard drugs, then what it is about?Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675076348134024844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-82862622103957855662013-01-12T13:17:51.246-05:002013-01-12T13:17:51.246-05:00Leo

Some people choose to make self destructive decisions.<br /><br />The purpose of government is to allow us to live together. Make the penalties for the effects of using drugs, driving impaired, etc.<br />severe, because in that case the drug abuser is potentially destroying the lives of others.<br /><br />Such penalties legally acknowledge 'nature's limitations' (that drugs imapir or destroy the individual) and put drug abusers on notice that we won't tolerate them allowing their self destructive nature to hurt other people.<br /><br />But assuming I am reading your use of the phrase correctly, 'civilization's limitations' don't work and never have. They just open the door for criminals who violently exploit them for the cash flow.Doug Mayfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620167852028046807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-7962969274583504102013-01-12T08:15:04.903-05:002013-01-12T08:15:04.903-05:00@Doug Mayfield You save lives by making things leg...@Doug Mayfield <i>You save lives by making things legal.

sel...Gun control advocates like to drape themselves<br />selfrighteously in the concept of saving lives.<br />(Sorry about the mixed metaphor.)<br /><br />If they really wanted to save lives, they would turn from banning guns to ending the ban on drugs.<br /><br />At no time in this country's history has any ban by government on something people want ever worked. Witness Prohibition, a miserable destructive failure.<br /><br />Whatever the ban, prostitution, gambling, drugs, alcohol, immediately after its imposition, the price rises, followed closely by the entry into the now illegal<br />marketplace of the most naturally vicious predatory criminals of that particular era, who<br />slaughter each other and any innocent who gets in the way.<br /><br />DG discusses gangs in this country. They exist, outside prisons, to control the drug trade by the most violent means imaginable. Take away their profit motive in the illegal trade by making drugs legal and they will dwindle away as did the bootlegging gangs after the end of Prohibition.<br /><br />You save lives by making things legal. You start the slaughter by making them illegal.<br /><br />But for the Left wing, or our semi-Socialist Republican opposition, to acknowledge anything like that, their motives would have to be honest and they would have to recognize the value of freedom, individual rights, and limited government.

When you dare to mention that Willie Horton was a convicted murderer who Dukakis let loose to kill again, you have just uttered a racist statement. <br /><br />In the same way they are trying to paint the pro 2nd Amendment discussion as also racist. Obviously this is the tactic they now use when they are severely loosing an argument. It's the "If you don't agree with me you are a racist" strategy. <br /><br />But thank G-d we have philosophers like Daniel to educate us.<br />ASGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-21579668962069164442013-01-10T23:18:42.391-05:002013-01-10T23:18:42.391-05:00They already consolidated housing, school, traffic...They already consolidated housing, school, traffic and subway cops into one police force.

We have the TSA and Stop and Frisk policies because our notion of "law and order" is becoming more and more totalitarian. In both instances, that is because our policymakers refuse to properly identify the enemy. The best of our policymakers are just not up to thinking in principles, but in terms of the quickest results with the least effort.

At that time I thought Fort Apache was the 19ht Precinct in the Bronx, has it been renumbered? I worked a clinic by the Brooklyn Navy Yard, then the 88 Precinct, another place to depart by dusk.

The person who wrote the article totally ignored Chicago and other big city gang crimes. That person should be given about six month shock treatment in a facility like on American Horror Story and then be relocated to a high crime area in Chicago.
