Doesn't matter. You punish people for violating the rights of others, not for what they choose to do to themselves. If you don't own your own body, you don't own anything.

And the killing stopped after it was repealed?
Kent I don't recall too many tales of Miller & Budweiser distributors getting in to shoot outs over territory since they ended it, but perhaps you can inform us of any instances where that has happened?

Mono thinking at it's finest... perhaps you can show where organized crime just evaporated after the repeal of prohibition? Kent

I'm betting I can find a link where the Schlitz Bros. and the Miller Brewing Co. got in gunfights/knifings over the limited Tonic beverages market.
Welch's had to make grape juice instead of wine for crissakes!

If you don't own your own body, you don't own anything. ============================= Once again, you fall into your continuum of not thinking things through before posting.I'm assuming that in your fantasy world Utopia, bastardized by a grossly adolescent understanding of the Founder's intent;a drunk should be able to drive the roadways and any person should be able to walk anywhere he chooses, with C-4 strapped to his body, and they're to be left alone until such time as they violate the rights of others. Is that your position? The soon to be demonstrated fact that our usual 3-4 Kool-Aid popsicles will hereafter +1 or attaboy your bizarre detachment from rational thinking should answer your question as to why candidates you support will always be stuck in the "on deck" circle of a minor league game.

Been a realtor for 3.5 years, you government-teat-sucking putz.
You really have no game lately. Is that how you feel about all people serving in the military? Vanished quickly again, didn't he....

Many people who start out as recreational users become addicts; addicts cost society money, lots of money, money that cannot be used for other purposes. In example, I attended a meeting last week concerning disabilities funding through the state government for people with DD (developmental disabilities - what used to be classed as mental retardation and related DD diagnosis). Our area of the state includes 19 counties (mostly rural) - there is $4.75 million dollars budgeted for adult DD and for adult substance abuse treatment. The Federal and State government mandates that $4.1 million be used to treat adult substance abusers, leaving $641,000 for those adults with DD. $4.1 million dollars is sucked out of the taxpayer funds to treat people who's wounds are self inflicted, leaving very little to assist people born mentally retarded and unable to help themselves. No, drug use is not victim-less at all; our society is the victim of drug users in many ways (crime, loss of productivity, border wars, loss of services to the truly needy, etc.) It can be spun in any manner, but that changes nothing, substance abuse costs us a hell of a lot in the USA.

JO is unable to comprehend anything about the military. He wouldn't understand working with men, he couldn't fathom the responsibility I have.
As with most things, he doesn't know a damn thing about it, but that won't stop him from posting. I find much humor in that.

I wonder if Amsterdam has 20 million illegal aliens, plus? I wonder they have 50 million blacks, 50 million hispanics and who knows how many of whatever race all trying to live together?
I wonder if we have more illegal aliens than the entire population of the Netherlands?
Course they do have legalized prostitution, which we should also adopt for daughters that don't have the grades to make it into college.

I didn't say it was their problem, but the comparison betwixt the two is akin to comparing the similarities of cats and fish.
