Re #43: It seems like we have two choices when it comes to "hard" drug
offenders: Either we give them treatment to overcome their addictions,
or we put them back on the street still addicted and watch them commit
more crimes until finally they get locked up for life. In that case, we
end up paying for their health care for the rest of their lives, so
paying for treatment sounds like the cheaper option.

Re #51: Great idea. Rather than putting up with burglary and such
from drug addicts, they'll then be motivated to kill to avoid being
arrested and accused because the penalty for murder is no worse.

Youhave to think of the greater good though. Genocide might kill a lot of
people, but think of all the good it would do to all those who are left?
Surely you wouldn't mind dying for the greater good, yes?

Dammit, people criticise me for lack of ironic sense and when i finally use
it, no one gets it. maybe I should stick to being direct?

Sometimes you have to tag your sarcasm for the humor-impaired.

I'd say that's the problem with politicians in general. Examples from
both parties abound.

Mr. gull,
Do you mean that Mr. Dean is lying when he says that politicians will
lie?
That makes sense, we suppose.

How could you extract that from what David said? We think David was saying
that what Mr. Dean said is applicable to either party not just the one of Mr.
Dean's. I also find that to be true, and a problem as well.

I like it just the way Dean said it. It's a stronger
statement.
