I guess the one thing that Huffpost and Learn Liberty can agree on is ending the drug war to help victims of violent crime (because keeping the drug war going helps rapists and murderers, OBVIOUSLY - in addition to just randomly locking up others, for fun).
Normally the Huffpost markets for the opposite of Learn Liberty, they are a cool group of Econ professors that post on youtube in favor of liberty. As you know the Huffpost has its own website typically with the opposite agenda, promoting entitlements (which by definition are the opposite of liberties).
FYI there are two kinds of rights. Deciding which side of this fence defines our current laws IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST POLITICAL ISSUES OF OUR TIME - OBAMADOESNTCARE or the ACA is completely based on this concept of entitlement as opposed to liberty.
Liberties which you have but do not have a direct cost to others (breathing, relaxing in your home). Liberties can sustain themselves over time because there are little to no costs.
Entitlements which you have but have a direct cost to others (public eduction, food stamps, etc.). Entitlements have a limited lifespan because you constantly need to find others to fund them unwillingly with monies or by giving up Liberties.
Helps to make it clear that those that have supported the war on drugs have actually helped rapists and murderers not get caught (and even do more). Have you supported the drug war (and not catching rapists) now or in the past? If so, how is YOUR war going?
I haven't watched the video yet, but the war on drugs has always been a lost cause waste of money imo. The government works for the people and we are not the children of the government. Anyone who supports the "war on drugs" must also support the ACA, or gov't knowing and enforcing what they believe is best for us all. Gov't should stick to protecting us from outside forces and not from our personal choices.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
go to 3:20 if you are impatient for a great Madison quote. FYI Fred is quoted in there too.
Thanks for the link... great quote that fits right in to today's mess:
It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule which is little known, and less fixed? James Madison

Thanks for taking the time to spell it out. This IS the educated way to say over-regulation.
It is not only too much to do in a given day, it is too much to even know about.
And in the end, too many laws mean we DO NOT have rule of law. Too much of anything and you end up with nothing, really, and thus you are always left wanting more.
