Thanks Turboe, I understand and I think I have made a fairly reasonable case showing everyone in this society is a direct victim to drug abuse. If for nothing else, heavily in the wallet. So I guess our argument would strictly lie in what is a definition of victim. Another words, would a victim have to show some physical impairment such as a broken nose or black eye or would the average working individual paying a substanitial part of his income manditorily as a direct result of this behavior be considered a victim as well. Let me this in a different context all together....If me and you (or the lead person for the libertarian movement) are standing on the stage in front of a crowd of people we are trying to win votes, tv cameras and all, and this issue comes up for debate and I ask that question point blank. How do you move that group of people into your camp through the power of your convictions. You have the hard part, my part is very easy, though im doing my best to bring about good and relevent points, this is something so easy to demagogue and sound bite to death your task is very difficult indeed. Are these things you truly want to get done, or is this group basically content talking amongst themselves saying 'if only we did things our way?' poet.
