You may smoke outside or in your home. You may not pollute the public air indoors where people can't avoid it.

Yes, the libertarian party backed NAMBLA faggots as well with the ACLU before... GREAT POINT! Thanks.

[A CA Guy]

Yes, we should keep illegal drugs illegal, we agree! :-)

'Are you calling individual liberty "garbage"?'

No. You are not at liberty to break the law.

equate the joint to a fifth of Jack Daniels.

They are quite comparable ... except that only the JD can kill you.

You don't see people unzipping and urinating at your public dinner table

If the restaurant wanted to allow that, and gave prospective patrons advance warning, why would it be any of your business to prevent it? If you don't like it, simply don't go there ... instead of crying to Nanny Government like a baby.

No. You are not at liberty to break the law.

What profound drivel.

[Michael Goldsberry]

"except that only the JD can kill you."

LOL!

Wait... Jack Daniels can kill you because it can cause you to wrap your car around a tree, but a joint can't do that!?

Smoking cigarettes can kill you via lung cancer, but smoking joints can't!?

Talk about denial!

Libertarians Drug Warriors can't handle the drug issue straight on, so they try to drag in pretend that cigs, alcohol aren't also drugs.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Law -- profound drivel.

Gotcha.

[tacticalogic]

"Not at liberty to break the law" -

Drivel.

Why is it government's business to force "worthless druggies" to "straighten out"?

Because the druggies were breaking the law

That doesn't answer the question, which is why the law prohibits drug use (except for the drug use it allows, like drinking).

[A CA Guy]

Because when some are too uncouth to live in a society with some level of dignity and common sense, the people or their representatives set minimum standards is why

You may not pollute the public air indoors where people can't avoid it.

People can't avoid going to restaurants? Sounds like an addiction ... we'd better ban it.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Ah, okay. Have fun with that lawlessness.

I'm the guy with the shotgun. See ya' there.

[Know your rights]

alcohol is bad

So by your logic we should ban it, right?

Yes, we should keep illegal drugs illegal

What a pathetic evasion. Aren't you ashamed to publicly engage in such cowardly behavior?

[A CA Guy]

The minimum standards of what is expected in behavior is raising as civilizations become more advanced.

Makes sense therefore that libertarians would be set back by events such as these.

[A CA Guy]

You say alcohol is bad?
In excess, you are completely right.

[Know your rights]

You are not at liberty to break the law.

So if we banned plaid shirts, that would be OK, since wearing them would then be against the law and thus not a liberty?

[tacticalogic]

Ah, okay. Have fun with that lawlessness.

I'm the guy with the shotgun. See ya' there.

Where is "there"? Will you be the one telling people "You can't have bullets in an unloaded gun?"

Jack Daniels can kill you because it can cause you to wrap your car around a tree

Jack Daniels can kill you because it can cause you to go into an irreversible coma. The joint can't.
