Drugs have not caused a single problem in your life. Either you caused the problem by taking them or the people in your life caused the problem by using them. Drugs cannot cause problems, people cause problems.....

Just tired of the lack of logic from the "common sense" crowd and the lack of responsibility from the "personal responsibility" crowd....

Do you think selective outrage is on display here at this site? As we know that when a gun is used and killed someone the left goes off half cocked. Where are all the threads started here to bring to light the evel gun owners that are all knuckle dragging teabaggers.

Hypocrisy at it's best...
Our attitude with firearms teeters between mystical bullshit and failed state lawlessness in this country. Driving is a privelege, ownership of push button mass murder armaments a right. They were just another tool where and when I was a kid, now some perverted symbol of "freedom". As in failed states and radical uprisings, we have some of the best armed nut jobs anywhere, because we tolerate it.

The consensus on the left is no more for blanket amnesty than the consensus on the right is for mass deportations. Both want a combination of consequences and mercy. It's in the balance between these two that the differences lie.

Boehner would have lost his speakership if he'd allowed a vote.

This is something I have always believed in, answer is treatment and not prohibition, and as long as the liquid variety is legal, let's legalize the solids too. A drug is a drug is a drug, period and alcohol will do. But we still follow the Nancy Reagan solution rather than Betty Ford, though one followed the other.

Elegantly expressed, so what's the solution? Ah, more hand wringing and war on drugs just so we appear to be doing something.
