Caveat emptor

a reply to: DjembeJedi The only site telling this story is stuppid.com, I searched through WV news sites and recent police records for Boone County and found nothing.This story is dumb for a number of reasons.1. Buying, selling, and taking drugs are not crimes.Before you begin shouting about "muh laws and breaking muh laws is a crime"--allow me to just state that: No. Breaking the law is not evidence that a crime has taken place. Many non-criminal behaviors are made illegal, but the existence of a law prohibiting a non-criminal behavior does not turn the non-criminal behavior into a crime.Example: Rosa Parks was not a criminal for not sitting in the back of the bus. Even though she was breaking the law, her behavior did not create a victim, so no crime was committed by her.Immoral laws that prohibit behaviors that are not criminal by the classical definition (a victim is present), are laws which we have a moral duty to break and rebel against. Anyone who blindly supports "the law" and always obeying the law, should realize that lynching black people and killing Jews were completely legal activities in two separate countries that used the law to commit atrocities.Being Jewish or black is not a crime, and the creation of a law that prohibits being Jewish or blackmake being Jewish or black a crime.It is criminal to write laws that rob people of their natural rights (this logic is sound because it follows the classical definiton of crime--a victim is present). Drug laws are a crime, and the people who support them need to go to prison.2. Humans have the right to engage in private business transactions without government permission.This whole article is an excellent attempt at poisoning the well. Anyone who sells drugs is obviously crazy, and no reasonable person would buy goods that haven't been approved by the FDA. We'd all get piss in our food without the FDA to protect us.Yeah, this article is statist/authoritarian propaganda.
