"A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

Abraham Lincoln

I feel the same way about seizure laws. They are just all wrong!

I agree-and this emphatically includes our draconian drug laws.

These kinda laws will give you a SEIZURE! I cant believe things have got this bad. But I'll call the Gov. I think that is a good idea. We do know he changes his mind. We should play the cards we are delt. VM

Full context:

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

So he was specifically referring to the prohibition of alcohol... The Temperance Movement never really stood a chance: we're a nation founded by brewers!

The message still sounds pertinent, though. "...makes a crime out of things that are not crimes."

Context is important.

That quote is in my comments. I think it is relevant. Thanks for posting it.
