Quote from: thedoser on July 27, 2012, 03:50 amI don't see how parading SR around the country, while much of the country thinks "drugs are bad", is going to accomplish much in the way of changing people's opinions on the war on drugs. If the opinion is to change, opinion leaders, like the news networks and others, need to call the WOD out for what it is: stupid and hurtful, a menace to society.The Agorists and I are not trying to change people's minds about drugs. If people really dislike drugs, that is totally their own prerogative. I disagree, but hey, it's a free country. It is not morally wrong to be socially conservative. It is however, as the famous Milton Friedman once said about the War on Drugs, a dreadful strategy to be throwing huge numbers of people into prisons because of the War on Drugs even from a socially conservative position because higher taxes are being levied on the entire population irrespective of ideological position. You don't need to be a liberal or even a libertarian like myself to think the War on Drugs is completely fucking crazy.If you were injected H into babies, then I'd be delighted to see you behind bars as well. The key guiding principal is whether using drugs is a free choice or coercive in some way. The best moral guide is that your freedom to swing your fists should end at that coordinate where my nose exists. You don't get to interfere in other people's liberty simply because you disagree with their voluntary choices. This is not the easy way out, it is tough sometimes. But fundamentally departing from that principal leads to an arbitrary system of justice that eventually becomes as cruel and cancerous as our one has. It is rotten to the core. Anyway who doesn't see that, simply hasn't had any contact with it and has Hollywood notions of how American justice works.Lastly, I don't even take illegal drugs. This is still my position.
