The best test is to figure out whether you use the drug, or the drug is using you. As the summer is .....

Is there a difference, do you think, between a person who, at a dying person's request, prepares a poison and leaves it on the bedside for that person to take, and a person who helps the patient to drink it or who administers it directly at the request of a dying person who is unable to take it personally?

The proletariat would establish a society governed by a " dictatorship of the proletariat" based on communal ownersh .....


Constitutional Democracy

Since minors are not legally allowed to be competent to engage in sex, to enter into contracts, or to form sufficient "informed consent" t .....
