Its not a point, its an attempt to win the argument with faulty logic. It might work with someone who does not pay attention but its not going to work with me (or the people who make the decision to take on amendments) so why bother even bringing it up.
If someone is doing something clearly hypocritical..Pointing out the hypocrisy makes them take a second look at their actions.
See now you're getting ridiculous.
Taking away slavery does not endanger lives. Infact in the whole it is significantly effective at making it "fair" for the mainstream to conduct their lives rather than a select few. Society didn't benefit from slavery, a section of society did.
Having drugs illegal is a far more complex situation and I don't think its necessary to go any further.
A select few benefit from drugs being illegal too. Namingly the DEA and the lobbyists. Politicans also benefit because it's a "war" they can pretend to fight that brings in voters.
Sometimes you forget that I'm neither for or against drug legalisation.
I don't see what you mean by that.
