Becoming a Lib

[lovbyts]

Ive become libertarian starting at about my mid 20s.

No body should be in prison for what they had in their pockets, prisons are overflowing with people convicted of victimless crimes. This is not right, not just for the imprisoned but for the tax payers the have to support them.

Most of that is a straw man argument put on by the far left. Not libertarian but Liberals. There is a BIG difference between the two, almost polar opposites really.

Those who are in jail for recreational substances 99.99% of them plea bargained down from a MUCH higher crime such as having an illegal weapon, breaking and entering, aggravated assault. Dont get caught up in the left media hype.

I didn't know that. Makes sense, definitely gonna do some more research on that one.

If there wasnt a war on drugs then there wouldnt even be the higher charges for them to plead down from. Take the profit away from criminals, we all know prohibition doesnt work.

we have created a industry!!! We incarnate more ppl then anyone on the planet! It's too big to not be stuffing new ppl into!! Where would all the ppl that work in the industry go if it were to go away?? It's like a habit that constantly needs to be feed... Don't see it changing anytime soon, sad to say
