And yet Mr English is considered to be fiscally prudent; someone to be applauded for his excellent management. So much for a rock star economy when it is based on borrowing (with interest to be paid via taxes)for non capital items.<br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-49299430830363679902016-10-19T10:43:34.274+13:002016-10-19T10:43:34.274+13:00Hi Peter, I disagree with much of your economic vo...Hi Peter, I disagree with much of your economic voodooism, but on this issue you are right on the money shot. When the vast majority of "illicit drugs" are no more harmful than a beer or two, the waste of time, energy, financial resources, and the damage to our fellow humans is immense. <br /><br />A well regulated supply regime for drugs such as Mary Jane, horse and acid with guaranteed manufacturing standards would eliminate most of the harm these drugs supposedly cause. Strong sanctions for misuse, such as supply to minors, spiking the drugs of others, etc.<br /><br />I can see no reason why marijuana should be illegal while jaeger bombs are available on almost every street corner. I know which one has the greater potential to cause harm. I have never seen, nor have I ever heard, of a bunch of stoners leaving a rock concert and inflicting random violence on strangers, but alcohol and Rugby certainly seem to cause a lot of that. Or is it just the alcohol?<br /><br />Davidhttp://davidbrindley.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
