For instance, I think drugs should be legalized, but I know that using them is illegal and people who use them know that too and must be punished for breaking the law. You can't selectively enforce the laws, you either enforce them all or you enforce none of them Lots of statistics show that drug laws for example already are very selectively enforced, along the same predictable pattern as most other laws. | ||

You can't selectively enforce the laws, you either enforce them all or you enforce none of them Or we could live in the real world where laws contradiction is part of the game. That and age old laws no one takes seriously. Look at Kentucky and their everyone must have a gun law. Points not to enforce laws to the point where Pokémon go players go to jail for loitering and trespassing. | ||

That seems to be the plan. | ||

I believe that businesses should rise and fall completely on their own, but I also want the businesses (and as a last resort, the government) to retrain the fossil-fuel workers into sustainable energy fields. Fuck I wish I could make up my mind on matters, I totally get all sides Coal has no future. Sustainables do. We should plan for the future, not delaying progress | ||
