LTE: Why stop here?
Anyone who believes that only 6 percent of the population has smoked
marijuana is in la-la land. Does Mr. Gingrich advocate a police state?
The government can simply not dictate appetite to FREE adults.
Law enforcement is not the answer.
We must re-evaluate our entire approach. We already incarcerate more
of our citizens than any other country in the world.
Does Newt actually advocate throwing 6 percent of the population in
prison?
This is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
These concepts cannot be reconciled with a policy that incarcerates
adults for doing things to themselves. What next, prison terms for
body piercings, tattooing, dying hair a certain color? After all,
children who see adults with body piercings are influenced to pierce
their own bodies, aren't they? Isn't body piercing immoral?
