rebuttle to argument

Almost all anti marijuana proponents(Law enforcement officials) end up going to " We need to keep it illegal to save the children" I think what people realy need to be asked when confronted with this ideology is do you think the government is right that you as a parent can not be responsible to parent your own children. In saying it needs to be kept illegal to keep it out of the hands of children slaps every parent in the face.I think if presented to some people in this form it will help them see the true agenda of government and that is to take over every aspect of your life and liberty. I as a parent do not need help raising them---- hell my kids never ran out in the road, swallowed pioson or cut thier fingers off because I taught them that cars are dangerous pioson will kill you and knives are sharp.We need to get to the parent in side every one. Your ideas on this?????

I agree, its is a very weak and rhetorical argument. The government was never established to be a parent. If it is taking that position, its sure doing one shitty job taking care of its children (citizens) economic future. And, I think the student's Marijuana Speech states the truth quite nicely. :thumbsup:
