I would say the real loser is the poor substance abuser. They're very unlikely
to get out of their poverty while abusing drugs or alcohol. Kind of hard to
soar like an eagle while wallowing in the mud. I don't have any objection to
anyone choosing to wallow in that mud, just don't expect me,
Good point, Mike, and I'd add that we're all losers in this situation, as in a
mind is a terrible thing to waste, or better, a fellow human being is terrible
to lose.

My very point Share! When we, as tax payers, subsidize that lifestyle, we
become enablers and partially responsible for their actions, like the parent of

Non sequitur, Mike. I think you're well aware of the statistics on who gets
imprisoned for small amounts of marijuana. It's poor black people, way out of
proportion to the number of people who possess those same small amounts. So
you're going to need to rethink your story about the prison
See, Mike, it's a right-wing myth that people would rather be poor and do
nothing, at least most people who would be getting the minimum income. The
druggies, no doubt, but that's a relatively small proportion.

Right, Mike, all poor people are druggies, and they're poor because they spend
all their money on drugs. Everybody knows that.
And while we're at it, to keep things balanced, we could implement a maximum
annual income. But I'm not sure how a minimum income would keep people off the
Well Judy, I wouldn't go so far as to say *all* poor people are druggies, just
enough to ruin it for those that aren't. We all know that the poor who aren't
on drugs are usually saintly, creative, intelligent, wise,motivated, kind,
sweet, adorable,cute, and friendly but just down on their luck
How many are just enough, Mike? I mean, let's get this nailed down.
