It's simple. In today's drug prohibition world (which, by the way, I
disagree with), a neighbor involved in a large drug buy/sell is involved
in organized crime, and probably violent. I don't want such a neighbor.
It has nothing to do with the moral rightness of prohibitting such drugs.

It would be very hard to determine that from a scanner. That's why I
wouldn't call it in.

Get a clue. You have decided I am a hypocrit after asking why I
would call certain things in, but without waiting for my answer. Very
presumptuous of you, I would say. Do you think I am in favor of
civil forfeiture? How could you from my post? I do not believe that
the right to use drugs is in the constitution but I do believe it is
a natural right. I don't hold that there is an inalieable right to
have an abortion because I am willing to at least consider the possibility
that a fetus might also have rights!

[Please, let's not get into an abortion fight here]

I really resent how you take a simple statement of mine and decide that
you know the logic behind it and that therefore I am a hypocrit.

With an attitude like yours, I would be afraid to have you scanning my calls,
because you would hear something innocent, assume something bad, and do
something about it. Get a life!

What the hell did you think I said up there, Bill?
