This couldn't open any ugly doors now, could it?

If you think we have too many moochers in the world now, just wait.
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
We need to be very clear on our principles, and then do all that we can to shout those principles from the rooftops. Let Freedom Ring. I think that a well-articulated position that it is not the business of government to protect adults from the consequences of their choices would resonate with a lot of people.
Yes. It not only wastes money but undermines the whole concept of the law.
There have been articles, as the one cited in the UK study that purport to the conclusion that if you make enough money, you can be a productive, successful addict, even with heroin. However, if we look at the most forgiving segment of our American society, Hollywood, excessive drug use quickly leads to unemployment, due to the unreliability of the addict. Robert Downey Jr. is a prime example, since even his Oscar-winning portrayal of Charlie Chaplin couldn't offset his erratic behavior. Downey rescued himself by kicking the habit and begging for the role of Tony Stark (Ironman).
Until the United States was formed, the idea of bottom up government, focused first on the individual was non-existent. The idea of a society made up of self reliant individuals should have been the next logical step, but humans are truly amazing in their ability to screw up a good idea.
Let's see if I can do this from memory.."Well you have to understand they come from a deprived childhood with no self esteem and it's our duty to ....."
Now this other system is also from memory. "Bang"
The Third Eye will certainly give the ability to see more clearly - visual acuity is everything. And clear the cells for others. Elegant solution and the tax money can go to other more needy causes. What was your next 'how about?'
Right now I can't think of a better way to end my time on earth.
We had the best way out of that and it failed. So I opt for whatever class is hiring in whatever system on top for my next go round. This one was a waste of time and effort.
Assuming you can afford my rates.
Professional Soldiers point of view.
No nation has lasted 200 years without getting an elitist ruling class and all the trimmings no matter what the first theory or plan might have been.
Invariably the general public gave them the power. ergo sum why not start working for someone at the top? But never forget one is working for oneself.
That's an answer that covers all possibilities as long as humans are humans are humans. Humans can't handle the responsibility of freedom.
Just to throw some gas on the fire. But as for following an ideology. What I just said comes closer than anything yet proposed.
As for following the rules or even working together for a common cause? Maybe for five minutes.

In an Objectivist society, drug use would be an open choice, with those choosing a self destructive path taking themselves to an early grave without interference. We aren't yet participants in such a society, so I try address these things in the real world for the time being.
I drink wine about every-other night. I don't think what I do is any better than people I know, good family people, who spark up a joint after putting the kids to bed. That's not my thing, at all.
Too much government...
Or you wait until the day is more productive.
