[QUOTE="alank2, post: 3812343, member: 108"] But many thefts aren't being prosecuted any longer. Less than x amount of dollars and apparently it is too much for the state to waste its time with because it is too costly for the state. The problem becomes at a society level, not a personal liberty level, what does our country need? Do we need a bunch of pot smokers who drag themselves down to the mailbox once a month to get their government check? What about all the other services they use from the system that everyone else gets to pay for? I'm all for liberty for someone if they want to bear the cost of said liberty, but this isn't really the situation we are in. I could get on board with no more services, no more entitlements, no more government checks, AND you can be a pot smoker who wants to smoke yourself to a mediocre life with true liberty that you don't come a running for government services. Also at a society level, what happens when your whole country are pot smokers? I guess what I'm saying is that I agree with your post, but there are a lot of other problems in society that bear into the issue that would make it a non-issue for me if they were resolved. I'm really really tired of the working people of this country paying for a bunch of deadbeats that don't contribute anything but sure like services and government money while we are 30T+ in debt. Where is our liberty in being heavily taxed? [/QUOTE]
