subject: On Drug Laws

VERN FAULKNER was thinking about On Drug Laws and keyed into cyberspace:
VF> JK> Look Junior, I am getting a bit weary of your same old, same old
VF>theme. 
VF>Another ad-hominem attack? I don't believe I'd mentioned my age - so
VF>your attempt to belittle me on that basis is somewhat odd. Even so,
VF>it would simply be a matter of age-related prejudice, and utterly
VF>irellevent to the content of my arguments. 
Vern, in reading the Dead Sea scrolls, I saw a message from Jane where 
she told Methusallah "Look Junior..." at his 800th birthday bash.
VF>The "old theme" is being raised simply because you haven't actually
VF>answered the critical points I have brought to bear. 
Let me suggest some alternative things to holding your breath, while you 
wait.
VF> JK> someone else, then so be it.  You will one day find out just how
VF> JK> smart you aren't.
VF>There's an old chap who stated "the wise man is one who realizes he
VF>knows nothing." Happens to be an idol of mine. Noted for creating a
VF>method of inquiry designed to make people realize that what they say
VF>isn't what they mean, and what they mean, they don't understand. 
VF>So. Answer me the question, and we can move onwards: Exactly what -
VF>in the current system of law and medicine - does the legality of a
VF>material have to do with its effect on the human body, and its
VF>potential social harms? 
VF>And if you fail to answer _again_, I'll merely proceed to ask the
VF>same question in a different manner, your lack of politeness and
VF>civility to me notwithstanding. You have made a claim, then countered
VF>it with the exact opposite, then you've gone back. I've lost track of
VF>what your actual opinion on legality of chemicals is, and the reasons
VF>for them. 
Careful Vern, she's south of you...
               The Few. The Proud. The Chosen.
