Clayton: My apologies for not being clear. Is it acceptable for the government to forcibly prevent someone from using drugs if they are addicted to the substance? Maybe if it was phrased as an argument... Someone: Drugs are bad and should be illegal. Me: The individual should be able to consume whatever he wants so long as he doesn't harm anyone

While I do plan on reading Rothbard in the near future, would you please explain what would happen?

Here's a post I saw on Yahoo! Answers the other day I haven't considered it yet, but what does happen next? This post jumps out: "If Ron Paul holds the view that abolishing a central bank is a good idea, then he is even more naive than I gave him credit for.
