This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

I would understand if it was about releasing nonviolent offenders that US prison system is full of thanks to harsh drug laws but everyone? That seems like really bad idea on so many levels.
I mean, yeah, if it's just the college kids caught with dime bags of pot or who decided to try some beer a few months too early, let them go. But anything worse? Hell, naw.
I'd argue for most drugs to be decriminalized.
But yeah, violent criminals and thieves should stay locked up.

Huh, didn't expect us to find actual common ground...
Anyway, agreed, as long as it's none of the highly toxic or volatile stuff that'll risk whole city blocks just to MAKE.

Ha, agreed.
And if that shocks you, you should hear my position on interracial poly-amorous gay marriage. I might be a fiscal conservative who hates Socialism and the Progressive Left, but that doesn't mean I can't be somewhat Libertarian. I am a Rights extremist.

1) Hell, yeah. As long as they're consenting and of age, I don't care who anyone's with or how many they're with.
2) Democratic-Socialist Egalitarian, myself. Everyone gets a fair shake and the bare basics needed to survive. Also, yes to renewable energy/environmental protection and no to high-capacity, fully automatic, firearms (every other type is cool, just no belt-fed, 100-round-a-minute, buzz saws. I'm even pro-suppressors).
