A comment from a previous post got me thinking about this. I said that the pen is mighteir than the sword in that the pen has the power to create the sword. This commentor jokingly said that Mr george should order that all pens seen in school should be confiscated and student dealt with.it brought to the conclusion. Back to my question, there are certain things that are illegal that is less destructive than some legal things. For example, cigarettes is prone to be more deadly that some illegal substances yet it is legal. I know that there a lot of reasons to why that is, but why?
I would like to know what substances are more deadly. In terms of drugs, virtually every illegal drug in the US affects people much stronger than tobacco or alcohol. Some medicines are illegal in the US but not elsewhere, and vice versa, and this is a matter of national choices. Many weapons are illegal to own because they are deadly. Not very thought provoking of me, but that's what I thought.
