Come on, folks!
You know that people kill people, not guns, right? Similarly,
people use drugs, not drugs use people. All the people of LA
had to do was JUST SAY NO.
Furthermore! Conservatives believe that we shouldn't
make things easy for people (other than the people
which dwells in Corporate Board rooms, of course, who
have "paid their dues" and thereby earned it). If you
make it EASY for people, then the people cannot develop or
exercise CHARACTER! To deprive people of the opportunity to
"pay their dues" would hurt them just like
it hurts a witch or a heretic to not burn them at the stake.
Therefore, if Iran Contra brought drugs into LA, that was
a constructive social welfare program (unlike what the
democrats do to debilitate the people's
spirits by giving them a handout!),
because the drugs brought new opportunities
to the people to develop, exercise and test their character.
It's like contraceptives: they are bad because
they make it easy for people who cannot afford nannies
to escape the consequences of their actions.
Finally, let us never forget it is better to be dead than to
be red.
