some monday night thoughts...

-everything should be legalized. gambling, drugs, prostitution, everything. prohibition does not work, clearly.

-it is not government's role to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own lives/bodies. the bad ass america in 1776 was founded largely on individual rights/freedom. oh how far we've come..

-the only thing that should be regulated by government is the use of force i.e. killings, rapes, assaults, thefts.

-the notion that something is "illegal" has not and will not stop someone from getting what they want if they really want it. (example: guns, drugs, sex)

-prohibition of drugs has created criminals out of human beings who are no harm to anyone else except themselves. they are locked up, their lives fucked, and then subsidized by (completely unrelated) taxpayer money. our govt at work

-we baby the real criminals (murderers, rapists, molesters) way too much

-governments cannot create wealth; they can only confiscate it

-figure it out.

you should definitely watch this video of milton friedman (libertarian legend, nobel prize winner in economics) talk about drug legalization:
