I just don't understand what folks who normally are just as scandalized as I am about the nature of our debt, trade deficit, interest, etc. are thinking when they want to continue these extremely high-dollar and unneeded programs that are strangling the lifeblood out of our country. People used to drink frickin' cocaine in their pop. Dope is just a dammed weed. I don't even like the term "legalize" it. It never should have been illegal in the first place. We don't have money for all this crap. Some problems simply solve themselves unless you won't allow them to.

They're just misunderstood! Harmless, really, and they should be left to do their own thing.

Agreed, hence my "put all the drugs in a big pile and let 'em have at it" theory. I also stand behind my statement that we shouldn't have amubalances responding to the ODs and the ERs should be able to throw 'em back out the door.

Give the addicts a governemnt subzidized hot shot to make sure they don't come back for more. Problem solved but It's not very "Christian like".

I'm tired of paying to keep them from doing what they wanta do, paying to arrest them, paying to keep them in jail, paying to try them and then paying to imprison them. Then when they get out I get to pay for them being on welfare. Can't we just deport them to Mexico? Can't we just deport all the politicians who want to continue this? I'm getting dammed tired of nobody keeping the roads up and my ditches not getting mowed and all sorts of other shixt just so we can keep chasing assclowns down and putting them in jail.

I can't tell you how many bodies I've stood over, barely clinging to life, brought back by a shot of narcan. How much cheaper in the long run would it be to just let them go?

You got all these people wringing their hands and wanting to "help" and all this other stuff. Some of them wouldn't pisss on my family if we were on fire but they'll give away my money in public programs to keep meth heads in food stamps so they can use their money for beer, meth and cigs. Our country is like Disneyland for Dummies.

Much. You and I both know that most aren't ready to go down that road. Hell, we have folks that want to "save" them in prison...

I'm glad you realize that. I, OTOH, don't watch cop shows. No need, I actually do, rather than just talking/typing. Some of us actually take our firearms and shoot at and from vehicles so we know what actually happens in the real world. Novel concept for many teachers, I understand, but it's reality.

Most folks with common sense realize that the first order of business is getting out of the way in those sorts of situations.


I've been in "those sorts" of situations. I've ducked vehicles and I've seen driver's stop when they realize what's going to happen if they don't.

Quote
Somehow, I doubt I would've been able to convince the cops that I needed to blow the driver away, either.


So, in reality, it wasn't what you made it out to be here on the 'Fire. Good to know...

You guys crack me up with this BS.


Since you're a constant source of laughs for many of us here, it's nice to return the favor once in a while wink .

Does your BS have no limit, George? Unbelievable. laugh

I want the cops out chasing down killers and rapists. I want the Border Patrol kicking asss on illegals. I want the soldiers home where they ain't getting kilt every day and where maybe they can back up the BP and keep us from having a dirty bomb or anthrax sewn in Houston or Tulsa. I want teachers teaching school and highway workers mowing the ditches and fixing the dammed roads. What I don't need is people kicking my neighbor's door in and arresting him 'cause he decided to toke up. I don't smoke dope or do meth. The extent of my drug taking is the odd Ibu or aspirin and maybe a Rolaids. I don't like my neighbor too much either. I just think with all this talk of the Chinese forclosing on us that maybe we need to get out ahead of some of this shixt.


I too, think that is an excellent post, and a good example of the frustration and futility that most Americans feel. In the meanwhile, things have to get done, and the game has to be played by the existing rules.

Just another day brother. Spent it snowblowing, working the dogs and doing work around the house.

One day closer to a ride in the ferry....

It may come to that regardless because the greenbacks are running thin. Sad part is good people will pay the price as well.

So do I. Those of us who "do" rather enjoy calling out those who like to talk about it.
