"You can't force people to be holy by passing a law."

Not so sure about that, the Muslims have taken this approach and they are a fairly successful force. If it is a moral imperative, dictated by God, then no cost in life or treasure is too high a price to pay. Even if the fight is ineffectual or counterproductive it is a fight we must continue, doubling and re-doubling our efforts. Drugs are just plain wrong and anything less than opposing them at every turn and smiting those who would use them endangers our very souls and sends a bad message to the children. There is no evil greater.

ARS, recently converted to the side of all right thinking people after years of wandering in a moral desert. Constitution be damned, it's just an old piece of paper.
