From all that's going on in the Middle East? Lord knows that I could use one, perhaps a few of you guys and girls could too.
I'll introduce the topic of consensual crimes in our free country. Between adults . I cannot apply enough emphasis; between adults.
I doubt that it will get out of the hangar, much less airborne before the thread gets whacked. But we'll see.
When I say "consensual crimes", I'm speaking specifically of:
1 Drugs.
2. Gambling.
3. Prostitution.
My stance is: Decriminalize, regulate and tax. My position will not change, I will not argue, defend, nor explain my said position on the matters. I won't respond to tacky insults. You can't change my mind and I won't attempt to change yours.
I'm just gonna quote an old blues singer named Billie Holiday. "I never hurt nobody but myself and that's nobody's business but my own".
In conjunction with tossing out the topic(s); I will recommend a book that goes into depth on the matters: "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do", written by Peter McWilliams, published in 1996. McWilliams said "This year we will spend $50 billion dollars and sacrifice $150 billion in tax revenue to arrest 4 to 6 million citizens for consensual crimes". And that was in 1996. The quotes alone, contained on every page of the book, make it well worth the price of purchase.
