I do think that as far as drugs go, our government is fucked up.However, we do need some form of government to help society manage itself. Anarchy would not be an ideal state for anyone. |

ive been thinking of this alot lately, spurred on probably by weed and watching the matrix. but i think its true to some degree. lets take marijauna for example. it is a plant, naturaly occuring in nature. yet, because of the simple reason that it gives you an altered state of consciousness, the government must see some threat in people using it. It actually really poses no threat to anyone, and has many positive effects. I find it funny, as one song said, that Marijuana is illegal, and yet we have a pill to give 80-year old guys hard-ons. society has its morals twisted, and government is the one twisting it. |

The evening hangs beneath the moon, a silver thread on darkened dune.
With closing eyes and resting head; I know that sleep is coming soon.
Upon my pillow, safe in bed,
A thousand pictures fill my head,
I cannot sleep , my mids aflight;
and yet my limbs seems made of lead. ---Whitacre's Sleep---

i totally agree with you, anarcy is not good for society either, but if it doesn't get its morals straight soon, civilizations death will be by its own hands |

Its called freedom and no the government doesn't need to "manage" society. The government is there to protect people, if no one is being harmed they need to butt out. |

Our government appears corrupt to me. All the politicians seem to be in it for themselves and for their political party. No one cares about the people anymore. |
|
although our government's drug policy is fucked up, government is ABSOLUTELY necessary. |

Yeah one of the best things about the netherlands is that we made cannabis legal. To bad that this clear proof that legalising it works great (way less addicts in the netherlands then in france for instance, way less hard drugs here), that it didn't leed to other countries getting smart. |

I find it funny that the only thing holding it in place is us, the people, who obey and follow the rules. A government's power is dependent on support, obviously, but if we just decided to take it away they'd be screwed. Of course, everyone would have to withdraw their support including the military and police. Anyone read The Politics of Obedience - The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude by Etienne de la Boétie? Written in 1550! Er, sorry if I'm going off-topic. |

i think the reason marijuana is still illegal is because the government has no way of taxing it. at least thats what i've heard. (don't quote me on that) |
|
I think the purpose of government got totally lost over its time of development. |

Theres a huge middle ground between no government and the government butting into your life at every possible point. Right now we are way into huge government in everything side. Go to a smaller goverment isn't the same thing as getting rid of it. |

I don't know about the drugs, but government is bad. VERY bad. |

When making critical objections about the governing parties of your country, we often make the mistake of thinking that they are maliciously attacking and manipulating the popularity for their own selfish gain. |
