    Those taxpayer safety nets are 1 of the reasons we moved.

    It will cost what the general public is willing to foot the bill for.

    Why? Someone should be able to build a still to make their own bio-fuel.

    If you believe everyone should police themselves, why aren't you lobbying hard against government policing?

    I say lets legalize every possible drug and let people go hog wild crazy. Being an adult comes with responsibilities and consequences for ones actions. If you want to be an addict and destroy your life, go for it. That is nothing more than modern natural selection.

    I think we should legalize cocaine for sure. Bump up those productivity numbers...

    I wasn't the one taking about people policing themselves.

    That the nonsensical part of this. The voters get the input to push the city/state further down the spiral but not a say on the consequences/other side of the coin that would be consistent with morality. It's moving one direction. Once the dysfunctional (for lack of a better word) voters are firmly established, the productive folks can't regain control.

    That's why laugh at the suggestion this is a freedom issue. These drug issues are designed to make every middle class worker serve a superclass of professional recreaters. And then we wonder how we get outvoted when those voters become single issue (gov welfare/program) voters.

    For as much as this community bitches and whines about how bad the government is in many aspects of their lives, and how they are worried about their freedoms being dashed by government control, some of you sure seem to like the taste of government cock on certain issues.

    Totally agree. However, I would add that not one penny of tax money would go to toward treatment, punishment, nor rehabilitation of users. Make them pay 100% for their own consequences.
