It is not the function of prison to rehabilitate; but to incarcerate.

No no no no no.  The cause of the problem is that too many bleeding heart • liberals

caught.

If we eliminated drug user laws (except those which pertained to driving • under the
influence) and kept hardened criminals locked up, then we would have a • huge
reduction in crime in this country.

   Would the Libertarians call this wussy flash?  Why would you want to keep
the most abused of all drug laws on the books, Mr. Neal?

(...) Not sure I understand the question-- are you asking me why I would still make it a crime to drive a vehicle under the influence of drugs? Because if you are, then you are more obtuse than I thought. -John (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
