maybe we can all marry each other so there won't be any estate tax.

What you really mean is that no one should have to have any values at all, isn't it?
All individuals should have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.
That'd be great if we all lived in a vacuum. But the fact is that your poor behavior effects others and/or puts others at risk.
People kill people. Not guns; not drugs.
I also find it odd you question my values and morals. I suscribe to the highest moral principle, that of self-ownership.
Big M Show Cattle said:Gonewest I support you and your posts. You see with all these drug issues is BS, these people have no clue. I was enforcing laws before they were even in high school. If you think crimes are bad now, legalize the drugs it will go through the roof. You see I was a homicide investigator for the ST. Louis Major Case Squad in St. Louis before I moved to Wyoming, yes I have credentials to show as I still have my ID. I have talked with many people who had committed murder and now is behind bars for life all cause they got wrapped up into drugs and are actually decent people off the drugs. Yes the people kill other people but drugs cause people to kill. Have any of you seen these people high on PCP or LSD, Well I have as I have wrestled with them and arrested them with lots of others officers. There is no reasoning with these people when there on the drugs, the fight is on and have super human strength on these drugs. Then people say shame on the police when we taze them and they end up dieing because there heart can't take it as they are hyped up on these drugs and yes I have seen this 1st hand here in Wyoming, the guy was completely naked in the street yelling profanity, of ya I guess we should not do anything about that either. You see I am currently also a Drug Court Officer now that I deal with drug offenders. Saying that drugs don't effect crimes is 100% false, you see if you don't know what drug courts are, look them up. I have talks with these drug offenders almost daily and they committed crimes to support there drug habits or addiction, you think hard core addicts work? Cause again they commit crime such as stealing, burglary and yes robbery to get money fast to get their fix. I can go on and on, you think the DUI problem is bad now, legalize drugs will be 100 times worse. I am also a Senior Intoximeter Operator which means I testify in most DUI cases, drug related DUI's are way worse than alcohol. You see I have seen the effects of drugs and alcohol (yes it is a drug but legal) and yes I do drink but can say I do it smart and don't get behind a wheel after drinking any alcohol at all. I have pulled dead people killed by drunk drivers, have you guys? My guess if you had you would have a different perspective on this. Also my sister was killed by a drunk driver and you? So any of you remarks will NEVER change my mind as far as the legalizing drugs go, I have way more experience then you will EVER have dealing with people on drugs. Sorry for the long reply, just had to reply to these false comments. I have the experience and can show it, can you show what experience you have dealing with people on drugs?
You would think if your family was so tragically effected by drugs, that you wouldn't be a user.Big M Show Cattle said:Gonewest I support you and your posts.

And how does that have anything to do with legalizing drugs, do you think before you respond? And to me, my sister was murdered cause someone choose to drink and drive, ever heard of vehicular HOMICIDE? Sorry to hear that but my cousin was killed by a drunk driver in 1988 and then my sister in 1994, those are all murders (homicide) and my family. XBAR do you have any better comment than that, makes you sound like the user.Zach said:have you ever had one of your best friends murdered, Mr Police Officer homophobe? I have.

It all comes down to what the tax payers of our country are paying for.Obama is the most left wing radical president we have ever had and wants to fundamentaly transform (Change) our country.
With gay marriage the government is saying that our tax dollars have to fund the benefits of a homosexual's partner. By doing this, government takes a stance that homosexuality needs to be encouraged and rewarded just like a heterosexual marriage with kids is encouraged and rewarded by our taxing system. So it's not an equal rights issue IMO, it is an issue of whether or not a behavior should be encouraged and rewarded because of it's benefit to society. If two people want to get a pastor to marry them, put rings on their fingers in front of their friends and family, and say they are married, nobody is stopping them. Also, this is not something that should be decided by the courts. Judicial activism is running rampant. The Supreme Court decided against polygamy in the 1800's because it did not meet the definition of marriage. Now we have judges that are ignoring that precedent and making their own laws. The people, all citizens, through their representatives make laws, not three people on a circuit appeals court panel.
As far as the drugs go, I personally was in the hospital twice in my teenage years for drug use. I know first hand how drugs damage a person. Marijuana is mentally addictive and is definitely a gateway drug. This is fact, been there, done that. I've seen 13 and 14 year old kids totally screwed up in their head for weeks in the hospital from only smoking marijuana. Now you're gonna say, well it was laced with pcp or something. NO, the marijuana out their today is strong enough to psychologically mess someone up. In my circumstance it was stronger drugs. So after being diagnosed the first time with drug induced psychosis and the second time with Bi Polar Disorder, with God's grace I was eventually healed from all of my afflictions and have been doing awesome for over 12 years now! I gave my life to Jesus Christ and he set me free.
