Quote by: Chancellor Yes, but why should the government do any of it? Where does the Constitution give the government the authority to protect us from ourselves? Why should the taxpayers pay for the consequences of someone's choice to use such substances? |
Is that a joke? Do you want to take away the CIA, FBI, local/state police, etc.? That is a great example of the government protecting us from ourselves...we need that protection from ourselves. Let's not lie to ourselves either, humans are unpredictable.
A lot of it involves the environment you grow up in. Addiction occurs too quick and before you know it, you're spending all your money on booze, cocaine, and herion. A chance at a program could even spur the economy as well as help our own people. No one wants to get addicted to drugs or alcohol.
