We do not have laws that permanently take away children for possession of an controlled substance. The laws that you are referring to are in your head. Then you take the kids away and at least they're not raised to repeat the mom's mistakes. Works for me. Such laws would destroy any semblance of liberty in this country. It would be yet another law that would undoubtedly be taken advantage of by the religious right.
If the person using the illegal drugs is a repeat offender (as is often the case) then the kids might as well be considered as having been taken away from their parents on a permanent basis. Not saying it is..but it might as well be.
I can see it now the state taking away kids because the parents were Atheists and could end up being criminals, because you know how those Atheists have no morals and do drugs (for those that missed it, that was sarcasm). And if you add the two together you end up with North Korea. So no I do not agree with fantasizing about killing all drug dealers or taking away children from their parents. Children should always stay with their parents unless it is a danger to their well being. And there is no evidence that every parent that does drugs is a danger to their children. WHen we start using such standards it would be easy to apply that rational to all things that corrupt the minds of children. Its a door that should not be further opened.
Since when did atheism and religion come into this discussion? And who in the hell said that religious folks don't do/deal drugs or are not on welfare? Sarcastic or not it was an idiotic thing to say.
And yes, any parent that does drugs is a danger to their kids for the simple fact that 9 times outta 10 the kid will end up doing the same, or worse drugs as they grow up and quite possibly end up in jail due to their parents irresponsible influence.
As for killing drug dealers...why not? How many thousands of people are dead because of drug dealers? Yet the only time they are ever charged with murder is if they can be tied directly to someone that died....which is rarely. We put serial killers to death because they killed so many people...why not drug dealers?
