I'm sorry, but you really don;t make a whole lot of sense.
I wasn't avoiding controversy at all; I was pointing out that your post didn't seem to follow from a logic standpoint and that the introduction of a photo that is emotion-laden and controversial for reasons unrelated to the topic at hand is merely as X puts it "a red herring".
We disagree. But I hardly think that merits calling me a fool- which you have implied in this post.
And you-- again-- seem to disconnect with the comment about losing a child to drug abuse and expecting the government to protect them. However, if you have lost a child, then I am very, very sorry, and I won't argue with you at all over something so personally and emotionally devastating.

Lino..

And anyone who things(sic)(or WISHES to believe) that a government can protect them from all evil has never had a child lost to drug abuse

I'm not sure this is a reasonable expectation.. Or a fair one.. I'm sorry if you lost a child to drug abuse, but do
you blame the government?
