I would tell you all the ways that you're wrong except that
"simplistic" and "shallow" are not arguments needing refuting
in the first place.
 FM> The more thoughtful family members of the

 FM> everybody talks about so freely.
Family members of victims usually don't feel that justice
is done unless the criminal is executed.

Has that dipsh*t Carroll O'Conner opted to legalize drugs?
Anyway, we don't legalize drugs because Liberals prefer to blame
anything other than the individual for what the individual does
(unless you're a white guy).  And, because Liberals want to play
Big Brother and Nanny to everyone and protect us from bad things
like marijuana, tobacco, golf carts that don't have airbags, and
religion.  Liberals hate freedom and they only reason they would
want to legalize drugs is if they wanted as to be high on crack.
