Public intoxication should result in arrest and time in the "tank" and OD, you die, no extraordinary tax money should be spent to save lives that were unwanted and discarded. While I tend to agree about overdoses, why should public intoxication result in arrest, assuming that it creates no danger for others and no disturbance of the peace? |

How did you do with the hot young woman?
"Jim Macklin" wrote in message ... About 42 years ago I had an experience with pot. I did not smoke it. But I was at a party with a very hot young woman I wanted to nail. Her girlfriend's boyfriend was high as a kite. The two girls asked me to talk to him and get him to stop and go home. He wasn't uncoordinated, but he was "out of time sync" about 2 minutes. If I asked him a question, there was no reaction for over a minute, then he would respond. I can just see it now, a pilot really two minutes behind the airplane. From my limited experience with drunks, I have never seen such a time shift. The only thing I can say is, neither alcohol or recreational drugs should be around airplanes, cars or guns or any other machinery. I once told a judge that all drugs should be legal for adults and anyone providing drugs to children should be executed. Intoxication and operating any machine should be punished. But the drug should be legal so the black-market and the associated crime would go away. BTW, the judge dismissed me from the jury when both the defense and prosecutor objected to me being seated.

The human brain is incomplete at birth and continues to develop for about 20
years. This has been proven in many studies and is well known. Children are different and not capable of logical thought and evaluation of threats and consequences. That is why the military prefers 17-18 year old recruits, why a 5-12 year old can get on a motorcycle and do back-flips and other stunts, they don't know any better so they learn how to do it before they learn fear. The penalty should be draconian since recreational drug use kills the brain, the only real difference between humans and apes. A trial determines guilt and a jury decides guilt. If you shoot a person in the head with a bullet, or a drug, you still destroy the brain.

Execution is a word that presumes a trial. Law presumes a trial. Perhaps
you have used too many drugs and are not able to think. I'm on a new computer and have not yet added your name to the "block sender" list. I will soon take care of that.

It hasn't been proven at all; it is pure speculation, designed to support preconceived notions. Children are different and not capable of logical thought and evaluation of threats and consequences. Children are marvels of logical thought, and with their lack of bias, they process data more objectively than their elders. The penalty should be draconian since recreational drug use kills the brain, the only real difference between humans and apes. Why shouldn't there be the same penalty for supplying such drugs to adults, then? |
