They don't need the 14th amendment. The Supreme Court finds stuff which I don't see in the Constitution (privacy). They won't allow people born in this country to law breakers into non-citizens. It just won't happen. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

And currently, almost every seller of alcohol has a strong incentive not to sell to minors: the threat of losing one's license to sell alcohol. Drug sellers have no such incentive not to sell to children. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

The most likely opium addict in 18th Century America was a middle class housewife. They had a redily available cheap supply and most suffered very few negative consequences. In reality, an opium addict who has drugs is harmless. However, one who doesn't have drugs is very dangerous. Cocaine was sold over the counter in Coca Cola and society didn't fall apart. Again, most of the negative aspects of drugs are due to the fact that they're illegal. |
