Drugs are associated with poverty, so let's end poverty by banning drugs. This is why we shouldn't confuse association with causation. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I may as well point out that the association between guns and violence is paltry at best. Most statistics trying to m... |

I was an aspie when I was socialist and I'm still an aspie now that I'm libertarian.
I don't see the connection. |

Some other homicide rates which seem to go up after gun confiscation is genocide and the killing of heretics. Hitler, Stalin, Mao... The state doesn't seem in a hurry to give up THEIR guns. Quite the opposite. I'm of the opinion that the anti-gun position is largely due to ignorance of the tool itse... |

Switzerland doesn't have our homicide rates, and if anything their gun laws are more liberal.
We have to example the CAUSAL relations, meaning what MOTIVATES murder in this country. In my opinion a large part of it is our insane war on drugs! |

Christ, not this correlation is causation BS again.
Where has crime DECREASED after passing gun bans? All I've seen are massive INCREASES, namely the UK, Australia, and Jamaica. |

You could entirely eliminate both programs and not put much of a dent in the 1.2 trillion yearlydeficit. And for comparison, under Bush the Republicans passed the Medicare drug expansion, which today is costing $60 billion a year and was not offset with new taxes. But old people might vote more tha... |

The bread analogy is a good one. [blah blah blah here]. It is a perfect analogy. Paying Taxes is uncoerced it is a result of a decision, a implicit contract made when a persons decide to make taxable income. Paying taxes is a cost of doing business in a country if the very rich do not want to do bu... |

The bread analogy is a good one. If you force everyone to buy government bread at the point of a gun, then you: • Preclude any alternative means of feeding oneself. This not only includes currently known methods, but methods which aren't currently known. Maybe I want to make my own bread, or use a t... |

I've actually heard of this thing. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a drive for a day trip. 240mi? If I still worked in Vancouver, WA I'd be in.
I am planning on driving up on I5 on my way to leavenworth sometime, but I don't know if the dates can match. |
