Yet all drugs are illegal for all adults in this country.
Yet prostitution, the combination of sex and free enterprise between consenting adults, is illegal in most parts of the country.
Soon the 2nd Amendment will be shredded, and the right to possess guns, the right of self defense, will be taken from us.
This is a tyrannical government punishing 95 percent of the American people for the actions of the other 5 percent who can't control their addictions.
Mankind fought for over a thousand years in England, starting with Magna Carta, to create and defend fundamental legal principles that protect liberty against government tyranny.
The British reached two fundamental legal principles that were enshrined in English common law, American law and then.
These principles are "mens rea" - no crime without intent, and "actus rea" - no crime without evidence of a criminal act.
They use their guns for sport and self-defense.
Also, gun-control laws violate another fundamental legal principle fought for over the centuries - no one should be punished for the actions of another.
Yet gun-control laws directly violate this self-evident rule of justice.
Extend this outrageous principle and see where it leads.
Let us assume that ten percent of us are burgers, fatty food addicts.
We can't allow that, of course.
Because some people are too "weak-willed" to eat the "right" foods, government must "protect" all of us from our own stupidity.
We should not have the right to decide for ourselves what food we want to eat.
Having a heart attack becomes a crime by this principle.
We must therefore pass a law that forbids all teenagers under the age of 21 from having sex.
We must also forbid sex before marriage.
The vast majority of young people who practice safe sex for the actions of the irresponsible minority punished, and punished without evidence of a crime committed that.
Thousands of people are killed by drunk drivers each year.
More than 100 million adults in this country should be prohibited from drinking wine or beer from this day forth because a few thousand people are stupid enough to drink and drive.
A small minority of parents beat and abuse their children.
If they don't, their children will be taken from them and put under the "benevolent" care of government social-service workers, who will, of course, care for your children better than you do.
If there were no compulsory education laws and no public schools, a small minority of parents might not "educate" their children, either because of stupidity, indifference, lack of money, or other reasons.
For this reason, most parents who want to educate their children punished were forced to send their children to public schools state that the waste twelve years of age of their children and turn them into illiterates.
These examples show the moral obscenity and consequences of laws that violate the precious legal principles of "mens rea" and "actus rea".
We are awash because, to their utter shame, the Supreme Court has repeatedly let Congress get away with violating these fundamental legal principles of common law and legal decency.
Yet, many of their decisions have ripped-away the sanctity of "mens rea" and "actus rea", along with other fundamental legal principles that protect our liberty.
History is full of horror stories of majorities stealing from, murdering, and torturing minorities they don't like or agree with.
But what are we to make of a society where a small minority, backed by Big Brother's guns, now has the right to rip away the rights of the vast majority? What kind of society allows the small number of stupid or careless people that have existed in every society, to destroy the sacred legal rights of the vast majority? It is a society based on the vicious moral notion that "man is his brother's keeper.
How so?
Every social program, every entitlement program, including Medicare and Social Security, is justified today by this evil notion that men are their brother's keepers.
The swarms of vulture-lobbyists descending on Washington to new programs, new handouts, subsidies for their constituents ask you all to tell their senator or members of Congress that their constituents \"needs \" l help \"value 's Help which have a \"right \" for this assistance.
What are their demands based on? Group whining.
The group's problems are not caused by their apathy, laziness, incompetence, poor decisions, lack of foresight, or lack of perseverance.
It is everyone and everything else's fault but their own.
If a man didn't have the common sense to save for his retirement, we need heavy taxes for a Social Security system to "support" him in old age.
If the farmers had bad weather this year we have supported food prices.
If young teenage girls can't control themselves and get pregnant, we need aid-to-dependent-family programs.
If anyone is having a problem in life, why, it is everyone else's moral responsibility to fix the problem.
That is what our liberal-fascists in government say - "we're all our brother's keeper, and brother, if you don't want to "contribute" voluntarily, why, government will make you.
Our politicians say if most Americans are not moral enough to help their fellow man voluntarily, then government must step in and see that this alleged "moral law" is obeyed.
So government has to impose the "moral law" on all of us.
They strip away our property rights and our right to resist government orders.
Through the legislative process \"creative \" and \"creative \" Decisions of the Supreme Court ruled that the government support \"public interest \" has the basic principles of the Legal stripped fighting mankind for more than a thousand years to protect against tyranny of the government.
Hence, we have the cannibal "entitlement-state" America has turned into.
Compassion has been narrowing.
Government agents point legal guns at our heads and say, "be compassionate or go to prison for tax evasion.
"Man is his brother's keeper," enforced by prisons, SWAT teams, taxes that loot forty percent of our paychecks, bureaucrats who strangle us with regulations - by America turning into a police state.
When we exchange our liberty for a mess of potage from government handouts, when we expect government and our "brothers" to protect us from every ill-wind life throws at us, we end up degenerating as human beings.
We end up punishing law-abiding men for so-called "crimes" they did not commit, did not intend to commit, and for which there is no evidence of a crime.
We end up destroying a once free country.
