Fine, then what shall we charge the one that gave the order with? And what shal be the punishment? If the one who takes the order relinquishes reposability, then the one giving the order must be doubly responsible.
Jeez, Ray. If you follow this twisted train of logic, you end up expecting the President and the Legislature to take responsibility for the State of the Union. Are you some kind of godless Commie, or something? You'll certainly feel foolish when the FBI lab proves that the trigger was pulled by a drug dealer who was told to do so by a child molester. It's just a shame that those poor federal agents had to be there to witness the tragedy.
The godless Libertarians are also spouting off the same type of ludicrous claims regarding government officials being responsible for their actions. Like the people we vote for actually had any say in how this country is run... Geez, wise up, guys. GeezMonger ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE LIBERTARIAN, By Vin Suprynowicz 'Enough money to have fed every human on earth' "August 2, 1997, marks the 60-year anniversary of the failed and devastating American public policy of drug prohibition," announced California Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Steve Kubby of Lake Tahoe in a recent -- and refreshingly outspoken -- press release. "Just how big is $400 billion?" Kubby asks. "Adjusted for 1997 dollars, $400 billion is enough money to have fed every human on Earth, each year, for the past 10 years." "As one of the chief architects of the War on Drugs, Lungren has a lot of explaining to do," Kubby said. "What has been accomplished by spending such such an incredible sum of money? We've created the biggest prison system in the history of the world, with more of our own citizens rotting behind bars than any other nation in the world -- and drugs are cheaper and more easily available than ever before, especially to kids. "It's time to hold public officials like Dan Lungren accountable for the tragic waste of money and lives that has produced nothing but more drugs, more violence, more addiction, and more misery." "It is even more puzzling as to why Mr. Lungren thinks his colossal failures in the War on Drugs qualify him for higher public office."
