A Punishment That Fits the Crime?

I watched you tonite on Stossel. I find it ironic you can talked about Ann Colter and her inability to think logically about legalizing drugs.
In my opinion, you don’t have the ability to see through you libertarian views to see the whole picture.
From your comments, I don’t think you have ever gone out late at night looking for your friend who got caught up in the drug lifestyle, pulled him out of the gutter, watched as he went crazy and suffered tremendously through the high, and suffered even more as he went down.
I don’t think you have family who “only do marijuana”. Surely it is mild and is a soft drug. Well I have had a successful military career, and am successful in business, all the while they (4 of them) still sit in their mom’s home, smoking dope and not harming anyone.
I am sure my buddies serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as other places around the world smoking a little dope before the go out on a mission. Maybe he could smoke a little crack, snort some cocaine, even better let him shoot up heroine. Yeah, that’s the guy I want to have my back. Maybe the fire department smoked a little weed about the time your house caught on fire.
I know, I know, you will bring up the alcohol aurgument. Sorry, not the same high, not the same drug, not the same effects, not the same end results.
Think logically about drugs? Maybe you should go to a detox center and see what happens to those who have destroyed themselves, as well as those around them and maybe then, you will see beyond the end of your nose and what the truth about drugs, marijuana included.
If I find any of my employees smoking or doing drugs, they will be terminated, no questions, no exceptions, no sympathy.
Drugs are an issue that effects everyone, not just the user.
