Jimmy: You said that there are better ways of fighting this issue other than what they're trying to do now. What other ways do you suggest (not being mean and whatnot, asking an honest question).
Aside from that, it really amazes me at how many people think of the government as a terribly bad thing. To me, the rich people in America (those who control large corperations, and force others to do their grunt work) are much more of "criminals" than the government is. One question I ask myself whenever I think about these things is "what's their motivation?"
Why would the US Gov't want to pass things that were harmful for the US people. They're not socialists or dictators that want only what's good for themselves and nobody else. They're looking to be remember "hey, look what I did!". Now, some of the people in the bureaucracies have some issues. Some of the restrains they're placing on Americans (drug laws, seat belts, etc) are trying to take too much control over people. There's a certain point when they're taking things too far and taking away things from people when it is NOT necessary. Let all the crack heads blaze up, natural selection at its best. Not to mention the Gov't could earn quite a bit of money taxing drug sales (yes, 'illegal' narcotics) as well as selling the drugs themselves (they being the only people able to legally market the drugs, thus insuring the purity). Anywho, just going off on a tangent now, so I'll shuttup.
