I'm sure that Kemper Marley, wholesale liquor dealer and one of the richest
aand most powerful men in the state, would beinterested to knoe that there's
no profit in booze.
Besides. alcohol is the only addictive, poisonous "disease" that can legally
be sold on virtually every major corner, in every liquor store, drug store
and supermarket, and it should stay the only one. Making dope legal is not
going to solve the problem at all, and that is a fact.

The last statement of your message tells me that it has been too long since
you have taken a good look at out high school and even junior high campuses,
where children are being coerced into not only smoking cancer sticks, but
using all sorts of drugs as well. This is pressure put on kids not only by
their peers, but by those who are supposed to be the examples as well. Just
walking into a teacher's lounge is enough to gag a maggot, what with all the
stale cigarette smoke in the air.
No Alan, legalization is not the answer. Neither, for that matter, is the
Phoenix police present drive to get tough on the users. Education of the
children and much tougher prosecution of the dealers and importers and/or
manufacturers would help. Even up to and including the death penalty for
convicted pushers, since they are responsible for many deaths with their
poison.

Then what is your answer to the problem? Surely the death penality is no/has
been no deterrent. With those kind of big bucks involved, they figure it's
worth risking their lives for anyway. In fact, a lot less money could be
involved and they'd risk their lives. If this country gave the death
penality to all pushers - we'd become mass murders ourselves. I don't think
we have enough courts or judges, prisons etc. to carry out such a thing
anyway. What are we going to do with a little 12 year old pusher too? Send
him to the gas chamber? Do you also realize what it would take - man power
wise to hunt down all these drug dealers? Wouldn't it be easier to just take
away their profit? Don't just condemn this idea and not give a solution
yourself. -=*) ANN (*=-

Date: 03/16/89  Time: 09:48:04

Wine, like anything else is fine IF CONSUMED IN MODERATION. In the days of
Christ, drugs as we know them today did not exist (both the healing kind and
the narcotics). Most certainly it was known that drinking to excess produced
drunkenness. It was also frowned upon greatly: "But now I have written unto
you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a
fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an
extortioner; with such an one no not to eat." Drunkenness is in some pretty
heavy company, there. It's nestled in there among such other detestable
things as fornication, idolatry, and extortion (1 Cor 5:11). Next chapter:
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be
not decieved: neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kindgom of God."
(1 Cor 6:9-10). "Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall
clothe a man with rags." (Proverbs 23:20-21). Riotous overindulgence of food
(such as pagan feasts) always included the overindulgence of alcohol.
However, as we can see, it was something for an upright man to detest.
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the
Spirit; Speaking to yoursevles in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always
for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." (Ephesians
5:18-21).*

However, the wine itself is not seen as a detestable thing. David wrote of
all the good things of the Lord in Psalms, and among those things he
included, "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the
service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; [this in no
way can be misconstrued to give a blessing to the smoking of marijuana, as
it expressly refers to the use of the herb to "bring forth food out of the
earth"] And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face
to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart." (Psalms 104:14-15).
Then of course, there was the occasion when Christ, at a wedding reception
in Cana of Galilee, turned waterpots of water into wonderful wine (it's
superiority attested to by the governor of the feast: "When the ruler of the
feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was:
(but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast
called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth
set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse:
but thou hast kept the good wine until now." (John 2:9-10) (The practice of
serving the guests good wine, and then after the tastebuds could not discern
the difference, setting out cheaper wine, was in practice even then! *grin*)
However, once again, drinking to excess was not the accepted use among
upstanding people of those times. As it was already mentioned: "Drink no
longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often
infirmities." (1 Timothy 5:23).

Date: 03/16/89  Time: 10:11:43

You seem to be closing your eyes to the fact that teenage alcoholism is a
serious problem in our country. Many kids who would never smoke a single
vial of crack or snort a single line of cocaine, regularly get themselves
drunk to the point of illness. Why is alcohol the substance of preference to
underage youth? Because it is legal, and because it is acceptable. You say
there are no "alcohol peddlers" out there. Granted, there is nobody on the
street corner with bottles tucked under his trenchcoat. However, many
underage kids are still getting alcohol in as great a quantity as they want
or can afford. How? An older friend. An older brother or sister. A fake ID.
You name it. It's a hell of a lot easier for kids to get, and a damn sight
cheaper. It is the allure of the advertising and the acceptability through
the media that does it. In Holland, a 16 year old can get a can of Heineken
from a coin-operated dispenser on his school campus. However, drinking to
excess is frowned upon severely by Nederlander teenagers. Drunkards are
those to be scorned or mocked, and it is certainly not a status symbol.

Date: 03/16/89  Time: 10:18:57

Alan, like you said, making it "illegal" for someone to get something isn't
going to make it go away. Like you said also, cigarettes and alcohol are
illegal for minors. However, with the legalization train of thought, why
should they be? I know a lot of minors that are a damn sight more
responsible than a lot of adults that I know. AND DESPITE THE LAWS AGAINST
CHILDREN BUYING/USING ALCOHOL/CIGARETTES, CHILDREN ARE STILL USING THEM, AND
USING THEM IN GREAT QUANTITY. If you make crack and other narcotics illegal,
it is going to raise the acceptability level of those drugs, and use among
teenagers will rise. How? By the same means that beer companies are aiming
their commercials (Spuds is a prime example) to teenagers and youth. As soon
as RJR finds out there is money to be made in the newly-legalized drugs,
they are going to put out advertising campaigns the likes of which you have
never seen before. Anyone who can make a dollar in the legalized drug market
will be doing so, and using all means within their power to do so. Making
those drugs illegal to underage children will produce the same "halting
effect" that the ban on underage drinking and smoking have now. Kids are
still going to get it, kids are still going to use it, and being that the
acceptability level will be raised, I feel that more kids will start using
the newly legalized hardcore drugs. And using a lot of them. Why? Because
society will be telling them that it's LEGAL! And it's the thing to do to be
POPULAR and have FRIENDS! Why else?

First of all I want to thank you warmly, and from the bottom of my heart for
taking my words out of context, twisting the meanings of others, and
attempting to throw them back in my face under the guise of respectability.
I try to answer your questions honestly, and I would ask that, lest I not
give your posts the time of day, that you would offer me the same gesture.
Oh, and thanks too for all the mudslinging. That really lends credence to
your smoke-clouded thinking. This world and all it's "me-me-me" train of
thought makes me violently ill. Tell you what, good ol buddy pal, why don't
we just legalize EVERYTHING? No sense in trying to place limitations on
people's lives. Let's let everyone just do whatever the hell they please. I
mean, why should I want to try and restrict someone else's life just because
I would like to retain a sense of general order? Heck, if you want to go to
church? Fine, go with the flow! If you want to go up to that same church and
torch it to express your newly found freedoms, what the hell? There are no
laws anymore. They are too repressive! Why should we be kept from doing
whatever we want to do even though we are being wholly irrational and
potentially ruining our own lives? Need a good laugh? Just knock an old lady
into the middle of Central Avenue during rush hour and have yourself a grand
old chuckle.
 
Off base, you say? Perhaps a little. But well within your scope of
legalization. Why legalize some things and not others? If someone wants to
mess their life up on crack in the privacy of their own home, I could really
care less.

It is not my place to tell them whether or not to do it there. They are
probably so messed up they wouldn't listen to a little common sense.
However, if that same person is out on the street, in a car, or any place
out in public without his full faculties, who knows what he might do? It has
been proven that those who become addicted to crack (nearly all that have
tried it) become so wholly and completely dependent upon that drug that they
care nothing about how they get their next fix as long as they get it.
Burglary, murder, roberry, it doesn't matter. All that matters to them is
that high. If I were to give the okay to legalize any currently illegal
recreational drug, I would suggest marijuana, but ONLY marijuana. And it
could not be an "outdoor drug" much like alcohol is restricted (you can't
drink a beer in your front yard). Not that I condone the use of marijuana,
but on the whole I have understood it to be a much less damaging drug than
the others you want to include in a blanket legalization.

someone who claims to respect the rights of others and blasts those who you

calling me a bigot? Your anti-Christian bigotry and constant Christian
mockery is far more repulsive than any any racist bigot I have seen in a
long time. (And lest you attempt to use this line out of context to claim
that I support racial bigotry) I HATE ALL FORMS OF RACIAL BIGOTRY. There.
But do not attempt to judge others until you take a good long look in the
mirror, pal. This is not to say that I hate you, Rod. I don't HATE anyone.
It's the things that you say that I cannot stand. Expect me at the next GT
to say hello, and engage in light conversation, but don't expect me to ever
again attempt to debate anything of any weight with you again. It's futile.

         It is my humble duty to inform you that you are
worshipping false gods. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Abraham, and
all those you read about in your religion books are
foreigners. Today, the descendents of those same people are
living, for the most part, on foreign soil. They are
citizens of Iran, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Iraq and
Saudi Arabia. In fact, the U.S. Government just kicked some
of the decendents out of this nation.  It would be a safe
bet that Kadafi and Khomeni are more closely related to the
people mentioned in the Bible than any of you.

The notion that the drug problem will be solved through law enforcement
efforts directed against pushers and smugglers is nonsense.  Tougher law
enforcement is not going to deter many from entering the business; the risk
of prosecution is simply an operating expense for these people.  Even the
death penalty would not serve as much of a deterrent.  The risk of execution
(like the risk of death in other occupations) would merely be computed into
the cost of doing business.  The ultimate result of greater law enforcement
directed against drug suppliers will be to drive up their operating
expenses, which would consequently drive up the price of drugs on the
street.  Since demand, at least among addicts, is relatively inelastic, this
will mean addicts will have to raise more money to support their habits.
How do addicts raise money to pay for drugs?  Crime.  Thus, the result of
increased law enforcement efforts directed against drug suppliers is likely
to be nothing more than an increase in violent and property crime by drug
users.

The only way to fight drugs is by attacking the demand.  This means tough
penalties against users and strong discipline in schools, as well as private
efforts, especially by parents to keep their kids from using drugs.  The
problem with drugs is not that people are selling them.  Someone who deals
in drugs may be an unsavory character, but fundamentally he is nothing more
than a businessman who is entering a market to meet a demand.  Any effective
anti-drug strategy must emphasize that users are accountable for their
actions and are not innocent victims of the drug dealers.

     Well my brother, it is another day and I see I have more messages 
that need to be answered, written by you.
     What words of yours did I take out of context?  I answered you as I

trip.  You just do not understand that my freedom ends where your nose

     By the way, can single people who have no families do hard drugs or 
would the undertaker become the victim?
     You ask, "Why legalize some things and not others?"  Daryl, knock, 
knock, anybody home?  Think.  It is a fact of life that some things are 
illegal while other are legal.  By your logic, turning this statement 
around, "Let's make EVERYTHING illegal", makes no sense.  Neither

     You said it yourself, crack is addicting and those addicts, as well 
as heroin users, will do anything to get their next fix.  Burglary, 
murder, robbery, it doesn't matter, you said.  Agreed.  The police will 
never, never, be able to put an end to its being imported or its use.  
Therefore look forward to a continuing crime wave well into the next 
century.  Also expect many more prisons, all filled to capacity.  Sounds

for smoking pot and put in prison and this includes even the politicians

     Under the proposed legalization plan, the huge profits, whatever did 
not fall into the politicians pockets, would be used for Drug Education.  
Right now, there are no profits for the establishment, just debts.  And 
the taxpayers are hit hard.  $20 grand for each inmate per year according 
to the latest Government survey.  Don't you realize that for every pusher 
that gets popped, there are many willing to take their place?  When you 
hear of a shipment of drugs being confiscated, you can bet your bottom 
dollar that hundreds of shipments got through.  If every citizen in the 
United Stated were deputized, drugs would still get through and still be 
used by the masses.  You cannot take away from people what they want.  
     Drug usage is also a form of protest by our youth.  Same as rock 'n 
roll and fast dancing.  These young people see through the hypocrisy of 
this world and rebel against it.  If the establishment says don't do 
this, you can again bet your last dollar they will.  Resentment of

It is basically the same here.  Children growing up recognizes these 
things and go against society in any way they can.  Looking to a job at 
McDonalds is not what they have in mind.  Crime is created by the 
politicians.
     You may not be a racial bigot but you are a bigot in the sense that 
you support legislation that makes it a crime to do something that is not 
harmful to others.  In fact, you've never tried drugs of the type we are 
talking about, therefore I can say that your judgement is biased and you 
tend to believe all the establishment crap that is printed.  You probably 
believe the tests done on rats in the sixties where marijuana was used, 
causing brain damage to the little critters.  It later came out that the 
rats had their brains taken out of their skull then THC was injected 
directly into their gray matter, the rats died after suffering massive 
brain damage. -Rod

Unfortunately, me and 'grass' do not agree. I smoked it three times - the
first time was great - I laughed for two hours over nothing - the second and
third times made me sick. After trying it for the first time - I fully
intended to give up all alcholic beaverages and just smoke pot. It's great
and safer than booze. But alas, it's not for me. You can function a lot
better than with booze too. That laughing jag was the most fun I ever had in
my life. I'm all for 'Marijuana dens' - when smokers can go and lay in beds
and smoke it  - can just get high off the smoke in the room! Ha - talk about
corrupt er? Who Me? So pure an innocent that I am. -=*) ANN (*=-
