Is this a fair assumption?

    Politicians that don't push for legalizing/decriminalizing cannabis are either:

    1. Evil

    2. Ignorant

    Thoughts?

    Read Ron Paul's Politicizing Pain he wrote today.

    No, that's not a fair assumption. They may realize that it's not dangerous or a scourge on society, but for a lot of politicians it would be career suicide to run for major office with legalization/decriminalization as a goal.

    Couldn't it be considered evil to knowingly allow the destruction of innocent lives for the purpose of your own personal gain?

    Maybe while they are campaigning I could see them keeping quiet, but once you are elected you have a moral duty to uphold.

    I where you're coming from on this, and generally agree with you, but a person's going to have to do worse things to be evil in my book (e.g. Bush, Hitler)

    Stop comparing Bush to Hitler, the two were nothing alike.

    No, it isn't a fair assumption.

    Who's to say they can't be both :p

    I didn't mean to compare the two. I was merely saying that both fall under my definition of evil.
