I agree with you buzz knox, but that's not my argument. Paying for the war on drugs or the costs of the current drug culture are equally wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right. My whole position on this particular thread is about freedom and it seems many people have a limited view on true freedom and government's role in society - and that's hypocrisy if we're discussing individual freedoms. I've even heard the argument that we should legalize drugs and tax it. I don't buy that either. All that will do is put the government in the drug business and increase government control as it did with alcohol and tobacco. Government has no business taxing or controlling anything that is free trade among individuals - even though they already do that with just about everything in our lives.
