It's just not approperate to be attacked in this manner by the administration. " Keep reading. She provides plenty of proof for her argument in subsequent posts.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Tom I was talking about making it illegal to be individually understood as being ill and thus pinished as if one is a criminal when one did no arm to another person. One is punished for being ill and that's that. It's discriminatory and wrong. Moral oppression... > > " Hitler had laws as well.. I say free them and love them not blaim them > for being ill.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I was going to argue absolute notions in the original hitler reply. It is interesting it is argued here in re-reply. Punishing the ill for being ill is akin of what Hitler did to the jewish for being jewish. that's all I wanted to put accross and yes, people who agree with punishing the ill for being addicted are in fact criminal in a similar way as hitler but no way to the extent. They don't like something so therefore a persons freedoms are removed and their charactors distroyed. It's oppression... > > > In a message dated 2/1/2007 9:13:03 P.M.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 This is the danger of stigmas, as a moralist you (if you agree with the laws) opress a whole group for the deeds of a few that harm people in other ways while under the influence of frugs. You disagree with drug usage therefore hate them enough to throw them in jail instead of simply treat them for the illness. To me it is intolerance and a moral oppression and is unethical. Just becuase a law is popular does not mean it is right.. Beware of the oppression of the majority, I say. > > " Moralist that make these laws are down right oppressive.
