the dilemma
« on: July 11, 2010, 10:54:14 PM »
Re reading some of these posts, it occurred to me that an ongoing and fundamental problem in the "drug war" and drug treatment industry is the problem of 'false dilemma' Since "evil cannot be quantified" is it better to commit the lesser or the greater one.
Better to 'save some junkies by imprisoning thousands, better to destroy the few to save the many. False problem, the lesser of two evils.
Better not to commit evil, seek a third choice.
( I'm well aware that in fog of war, choice is not so clear, so being a simple man, my suggestion is simply to shoot the annoying sons 'a bitches, leave the rest alone, and go have a beer.) But then, I' a simple man, a humble son of the soil, a dreamer, oft given to poesy, and gentle musing. Oh, wait, i think i hear a butterfly! ponder the problem, it's important!
