Go to bed you stupid drunk. I'll ride your horses till they puke or step in a hole. Alexander would not have even stopped in Saskabush. As far as your post goes, I am on the record from way back. I support prostitution. Peopkle do everything for a reason--usually to stay alive. Why are are you continually harping on Hitler? Do you have a Luger Don't talk stupid. I don't harp on Hitler; never have. He drew too many heads...so? Legalize drugs, why should doctors have the exclusive right to push drugs. Legalize prostitution, these women are honest business people. They are put in a victims role to further a point for feminists. Can you imagine, your one life sacrificed to further a political agenda. Legalize everything and get rid of the criminal element that preys on the weak and the young. There is abundance, serenity and joy for all, may you find it. Socrates said: "I am not Greek, or even Athenan. I am a citizen of the planet earth" ...don't try to figure it out--just feed your horse.

Legalize drugs, why should doctors have the exclusive right to push drugs. On point from today's Post. A Draco of Drugs By William Raspberry Monday, April 30, 2001; Page A17 President Bush, if the reports are to be believed, has picked John P. Walters to replace Barry McCaffrey as head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. At one level, the nomination would be no surprise. It fits the pattern that has the president turning to retreads from his father's administration to fill key positions. Walters was deputy to drug "czar" William Bennett under the previous Bush administration. At another level, though, it is a peculiar choice. Walters, almost alone among those who have spent serious professional time on drug abuse in America, harbors no misgivings over the fact that we've been crowding our prisons almost to the bursting point with nonviolent drug offenders. Indeed, he thinks we'd be better off if we jailed more drug offenders. And while we're at it, he wrote in the March 5 issue of the Weekly Standard, we'd do well to abandon three of "the great urban myths of our time": • That we are locking up too many people for possession. • That we are locking up drug offenders for excessive sentences. • That "the system is unjustly punishing young black men." <snip> washingtonpost.com
