And the worst part?

Making Pseudo unavailable in large quantities has made the inventice druggies with too much time on their hands and some brainpower figure out a way to do it in a 2-litre bottle in batches based on a dozen pills instead so now manufacturing is entirely decentralized and done by the druggies that want the hits whenever they can pick up a single box of pills.

So expect the entire drug to be made illegal soon, stock up whenever and however you can in the meantime. I agree, nothing, and I mean nothing, works as well as real pseudo.

Why? Because governments are given absolute power to control you for your own good. They've determined that you can't be trusted to use these drugs, so how can you complain?

[cassen_grrrl]

I hate government control! GRRRRR

[kris_schnee]

But you want government-run health care?

[cassen_grrrl]

That's different - like other government services in the U.S. libraries, police, schools, fire departments, etc. heathcare should be the same - a non-profit organization

(First, thanks for a thought-provoking conversation and for your politeness. It's a refreshing change from some people I've talked with. May I respectfully repost it all?)

You're right: I'd be hypocritical if I wanted government to give me "free" schools and the like while railing against it taking stuff by force. So I don't support those things! The main exceptions are the military, police and courts, which fall under the Founders' theory that government exists to protect people against force and fraud by other people. They didn't think a "right to life" meant a right to be given everything you need to survive.

But we could be free to disagree on this topic, if we still had a Constitution. It was set up so that states would have most of the power and make their own decisions. But the statists -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- have been saying, let's put all power under the central government. For instance, you said we should make education federally-funded, which implies federal control. Some of us citizens are saying "We don't

You brought up the whole states' rights vs. federal government. That is what the whole Civil War was REALLY about - slavery was just an offshoot of that topic. Even way back then our country was divided in half and that division has developed into the Democrat/Republican division. I think states should have rights over some things, such as speed limits (though the feds say that in order to get federal money for roads they have to have it under a certain number), taxes, lotteries, fireworks, alcohol, cigarettes, and those kinds of laws. Laws such as marraige should be federal - For example some states allowing same-sex marraige and other states not allowing it - the ruling on that should be nationwide, not state-by-state. If a same-sex couple living in a state allowing same-sex marraige gets married and has to move later to a different state that affects their lives greatly. Same with schools - the education you get shouldn't depend on where you live. The U.S. is ONE nation, not 50
