    There always have been and always will be booze hounds and drug addicts. The War on Drugs is no more winnable than the War on Booze was. The only thing it will accomplish is the enrichment of violent criminals and government bureaucrats. And the fact that government "safety" programs don't work any better than government "prohibition" programs should be a surprise to no one.

    Bathtub gin wasn't deadly because it was gin. It was deadly because it was adulterated with other (legally produced) substances to increase its potency. - just as (legally produced) fentanyl, in addition to being used directly as a drug itself, is often used to adulterate other drugs to increase their potency (which are then consumed by unwitting users who don't even know it's there - something which would be much less likely to occur if the production and sale of drugs were fully legal and their producers and sellers could be held liable for such adulteration, just like alcohol producers are). From the article (bold emphasis added): And as I noted in your quote of me (bold emphasis added):

    The fentanyl thing is not really much different from the poisonous "bathtub gin" problem that existed during alcohol prohibition. It's a problem that occurs because of prohibition, not because of "legalization". The problem with all these so-called "legalization" schemes is that they only "legalize" possession and consumption, but not production and distribution (which remain criminal). So the only producers, distributors, and sellers will be criminals who will (1) be prone to violence to protect their turf and profits, and (2) have no incentives to care about the quality or safety of their products. Notice that, unlike during alcohol prohibition, innocent (and even not-so-innocent) people are not being injured or killed during running gun battles between competing alcohol distributors (such as Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing Co.). Brewers and sellers don't need to peddle their wares on schoolyards, and those who peddle poisonous products can be held civilly and/or criminally liable to their victims. And this was all without having to coddle drunks (unlike what is going on in Portland and elsewhere with respect to drugs & addicts).

    Portland's problem isn't the "legalization". Portland's problem is the irresponsible addict-coddling of batshit insanity progressivism. From the thread about that very subject:

    Why is ‘Libertarian’ Reason Unreasonably Smearing Argentina’s Javier Milei? https://ampamerica.com/nichols-why-is-libertarian-reason-unreasonably-smearing-argentinas-javier-milei/ {Brian Nichols | 28 March 2024} When I saw the recent hit piece by Antonella Marty, CEO of Sociedad Atlas at The Atlas Society, in Reason magazine attacking Argentina’s new president Javier Milei, I had to rub my eyes in disbelief. Could this really be coming from the CEO of a prominent libertarian think tank, published in a respected libertarian outlet ? The op-ed, which portrays Milei as an authoritarian populist, is so rife with distortions and unfounded allegations that it borders on intellectual malpractice. As a proud libertarian, I feel compelled to set the record straight and defend a man who is bravely trying to pull his country out of the abyss of socialism. Let’s start by examining the central claim of Marty’s piece – that Milei is not a “real” libertarian because of some of his policy decisions and rhetoric. But since when did the Atlas Society and Reason magazine, of all places, provide a platform for such blatant purity testing and gate-keeping? The reality is that governing is messy business, especially in a country as dysfunctional as Argentina. Milei has inherited an economic catastrophe marked by hyperinflation, stifling regulations, and unsustainable government spending. In this context, some deviations from libertarian orthodoxy are not only understandable, but necessary as transitional measures. https://twitter.com/Libertarium_arg/status/1763669774846824742 1763669774846824742

    I hate all the War on Drugs bullshit, but South America (and Central America, and Mexico) is a god-forsaken basket-case of drug-cartel corruption and violence, so I'm not going to complain (too much) about whatever Bukele, Milei, et al. decide they have to do to mitigate it. The best thing that could be done for South America (and Central America, and Mexico) is for the rest of the world (especially the United States) to put an end to War on Drugs and legalize (or decriminalize, or whatever) it all. That would do far more to impoverish the cartels and drive them out of business than all the laws in the world. (So, of course, that's the one thing that won't happen - the CIA would never stand for it, among other reasons.)

    For example, instead of just briefly mentioning a list of tax hikes or the seemingly pointless purchase of fighter jets - which are two of the more problematic items, IMO - they could have made an effort to determine if those actions were actually instigated by Milei himself, or whether they are things he had to accede to as part of his agreement with the coalition partners (Bullrich, Obaid, et al.) whose support he needed in order to win the election (and will continue needing in order to enact other policies). In either case, they are bad things and deserve to be criticized, but as I've pointed out several times in this thread, Milei is not the OmniGod of Argentina - he was always definitely going to have to enact at least some unlibertarian policies, regardless of whether he really wanted to or not (not possibly, not probably, but definitely). In assessing and judging Milei, it makes a difference whether he "wanted to" or "had to". Reason could have helpfully tried to sort that out, but instead they just went "bitch mode" . The nature of politics - and especially electoral politics - is that you can easily do that with anyone. If Ron Paul had become POTUS, Reason could have written exactly the same kind of article about him - "Oh, look, he appointed his less-than-honorable grandson-in-law Jesse Benton as his Chief of Staff! Nepotism!" - "Oh, look, those newsletters! Racism!" - "Oh, look, the military spent more money on planes! All that 'non-interventionism' stuff must have been bullshit, after all!" - and so on. I suspect this has much more to do with Reason's social libertinism vis-ŕ-vis Milei's social conservatism than it has to do with actual libertarian principles. (Hence, their complaints about "gender issues" and Milei being a "pro-lifer"). In the case of Milei (or Ron Paul), was that money offset by greater spending reductions elsewhere? Maybe. Maybe not. If not, was it by choice or political necessity? Who knows? Reason couldn't (or wouldn't) be bothered to try to find out and tell us.

    They have a few - but unfortunately, instead of actually providing any substantive examination of those few points, they only mention those points in passing so they can spend the vast majority of the article indulging in innuendo and other nonsense like griping about his dogs (or bizarrely complaining that army officers can't get tattoos, paint their nails, or grow beards).

    Oh, I already deleted them. You need to realize you are not the solution, you are the problem. Even when you're right you are a cruel sadistic person, and it is ripping our cohesion to bits. If you can't control yourself and feel so compelled to be so hateful against anybody you disagree with, then you need to go hang out on RedState or Hannity or DU. You are doing liberty a disservice by being so hateful against our own people. It's almost like you WANT the movement to fail, and are doing everything in your power to set our people against one another. You either need to learn to control yourself, or stay away from those here who are actually doing the work to restore liberty. Self-absorption has no place in a movement bigger than individual selves. If you can't deal with that, then find another movement to parasite on. If you really want to help liberty but cannot restrain your impulses, go join the Obamatons and divide THEM instead of working to divide US.

    No, I simply do not support sadistic people. It's called "principle," maybe you should look the word up.
  5. I have no idea if I'll ever convert, but I was raised in the Lutheran and Catholic traditions--I came to prefer Catholicism. Ideally, I'd like to find an Eastern Rite Church for the daughter, but the nearest one is about an hour away from here, so I'm going to give RC a try. My agnosticism aside, I still think it's really important for her to have the experience and background. Kluge's family will lose their shit though, they think Catholicism is evil (along with Islam and a good number of other religious disciplines.)
