You're right, let's let every heorin addict walk the streets and kidnap 11 year old girls in car wash parking lots.
See above statement about drug criminalization!!
See above statement about taxes!!

1. I don't trust the government a lot but I trust coporations a WHOLE lot less. The government isn't in the business of making money, it'a business is keeping people happy and complacant. That is why I advocate regulation over pure capitalism. Furthermore, America has seen what businesses without regulation do, it was called the Guilded Age and it was some bad mojo all the way around.
2. Social Welfare is a good thing in a capitalistic society, it keeps the losers in the game from getting upset and having one of those revolt things. And that whole crazy poverty is bad thing...
3. No offence but you are fool if you think that I.I. are just lay abouts who do nothing. They do jobs at near slave wages that legal americans would not even consider touching. I.I. support the construction companies and agriculture industry of the entire southwest.
4. The story about the heroin addict was cute but I perfer salmon over red herring. The drug policy has two options: 1) waste money on a futile war that we will NEVER win (black markets exist for a REASON) or 2)legalize everything, create nice centers for people who want to use drugs and offer counciling for people at these centers.
5. You arguments on the death penalty and social welfare were misapplied, please try again with something coherant if you want to continue the debate.
*sorry for the off-topic but when certain people feel the need to attack positions people list, a defense of those positions is in order.*
