Living With The Unlikable

In an apparently wasted effort to teach tolerance I said this to one of my Republican friends.

===

Criminal distribution makes it easier for your kids to get drugs. The black market doesn’t card.

And I’d be interested in how you intend to eradicate ALL plants you don’t care for. To even think that is possible. It is laughable.

And think about your plan in terms of guns. I’m sure you think that it wouldn’t work. But your assumptions gives the lefties ideas.

Drugs are illegal. About 1/2 of Americans under 65 have tried them. How is that possible?

But maybe if we put the 30 million or so drug users in prison or mass murdered them you could get the utopia you dream of. Can you afford that much prison? Are you up for mass murder?

You are going to have to learn to live with things you don’t like. It is the only way to protect the things you like from the people who don’t like them.

    You are right. But they won’t listen. Neither will the nannies on the left.

    They ALL know what’s best for us and will give it to us, despite our objections.

    Take a hypothetical guy:

    During high school and college, he experimented with marijuana, psylocybin, alcohol, speed, cocaine, peyote and LSD.

    Today, this hypothetical guy still drinks, but chooses to avoid all the other things out there. But, this this guy wanted to, could probably score any of the above in short order.

    Has criminalization stopped anyone from using whatever drug they would choose to use? No. But it has created a large black economy. Back in the ’60’s and ’70’s, you could drop off a sample of whatever you had, and call with your code to find out what was in your stash. Not aware of any program out there like this now. So, users are dependent upon the honesty and ethics of the supplier. And this is not a class of people that I would generally view as honest and ethical. So you don’t really know what one would be putting into their body.

    What I do know, is that it is generating a lot of cash. And thefts. And killings. And burglaries. It would be cheaper to provide free meth with delivery service than to keep it a criminal offense. And the problem would be solved in short order.

    Hypothetically.

    why should we tolerate evil?

    Keep hammering on the gun angle. It may or may not have worked here, but it’s a winner.

    Opening with “You sound just like the gun control nuts…” might make for a good Shock and Awe start.

    William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!

    Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

    William Roper: Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!

    Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!

    Thanks!

    Some of the support for the WOD on the Right comes from the notion that only Democrat voters use illegal drugs. So drug arrests take Democrat voters out of the equation. Certainly a despicable reason to support a law or public policy.
