I love the whole bringing up of the slippery slope argument, you know the one.

First of all, you've gotta ask yourself the question of what a 5 year sentence for passing a joint to a minor is actually supposed to achieve. Is 5 years in jail going to rehab the person more effectively than 3 months? One year? Hell, why not throw 'em in for 50 years? That'll teach 'em. Better yet, why not just kill 'em? It'll get these obviously hardened, lost-cause criminals off our streets and our precious America drug-free.


Because I fail to see any kind of argument in it, its more of a beratment (sp?). Especially when you add in this

Look at me, I'm pulling out the slippery slope argument. It sucks doesn't it, righties?

Because conversly I could pull out

You've got to ask yourself the question, so what if we legalize dope, hey there's no harm for that. Hell why not legalize Crystal Meth, or acid or coke, I mean its all about freedom of choice right? I mean it costs us so much to fight the drug trade why not legalize it all and let people take thier chances?

Look at me I'm pulling out the slippery slope argument. It sucks dosen't it Lefties?[B]

And I'm sorry if one of the biggest complaints in the states is that people are willing to turn a blind eye to criminal acts, and selling drugs is a criminal act. The three year mandatory is all about going after people who are distributing drugs. Its not about turning in children specifically.

But the old accessory to a crime is coming into play here. If you witness a crime and refuse to step forward then the three year sentence can come into play. I personally don't really have too many problems with it.

I don't understand the complaints here, but I guess I'm just too much of a rightie to understand enlightened views.

But one of the worst things about the drug trade in my mind is that it targets young kids, and hooks them early, so if this goes out of the way to punish people that are giving marijuana to kids under the age of 18, then I'm all for it.

If its all about going after people who are tempting people that have just gone through drug rehab then I'm all for it.

As far as I'm concerned this is a great tool for going after dealers who target the young and the weak.

And I don't see it as an attack on freedom as dope has never been legal in the states anyways. All this is about is tightening up the laws and consequences.
