Another set of online respondents whine about Mormons/Zoroastrians/Republicans not letting anyone else have any fun. Can we gather these are the responses from folks who want all drugs legalized for recreational use? As I’m a Republican and also understand the Mormon view, I’m a little concerned. Desperate addicts knock down doors and old ladies and knock over banks to pay for their desires. You know, if a heroin user stayed in his own home and lived alone and didn’t drive and didn’t thieve to feed the addiction, maybe we wouldn’t have any reason to lock them away. The trouble is the addicts interfere with the lives of their neighbors and sometimes the interactions are deadly. And don’t start yapping about marijuana not being in any way a gateway drug. I simply can’t believe all the cops who tell me otherwise are liars. I grew up in a law enforcement neighborhood. You could throw a rock in any direction and likely it would bounce off a policeman’s house. I’ve spent my adult life at crime scenes and in diners and speaking with deputies and troopers and police officers and just once has one advocated legalization. He had retired to a small country home far away from all other human contact. None, I mean, none of his old colleagues wanted to associate with the man.
