My proposal to solve all those problems is to get the government out of the business of regulating human behavior.

  • eliminate all prohibition of behavior
  • optionally tax and regulate voluntary exchanges of money for behavior only as necessary to protect the parties involved
  • eliminate all public education after grade 6 to minimize the trauma of young people

I believe that the only solution is the right education on the subjects. For example, teach young folks to have sex for the sake of love only - and not just for personal arousement and satisfaction, as it gets propagated these days. Teach them how to do it right with the drugs, too. The modern "all drugs are evil"-education on the kids does nothing good to them and as soon as they find out that the adults lied about harmless stuff, the risk of them trying about the harder stuff as well gets highly increased. All we can do to make this world a better place is better education on our kids, we cannot expect them to find the way on their own, we must show them. Or else they will lead mankind just even further into degeneration. "Do what you want" isn't meant to waste your wishes. We also can't expect any government to help us out, those people are living in a parallel society, we are just livestock to them. It is on the people to get their shit together. I know, that isn't very hopeful either, but it would be the only proper solution in my opinion.

My understanding is that is currently illegal in America's public schools. Sad.

I've made similiar experience. A plenty of people get really angry when you mention love in any way, most of those people are young folks that hadn't had any other education on that topic than internet porn.

Yeah I guess that's true.

What if you love drugs?

You don't love the drugs, but the drugs love you.
