[Nevermore:] The problem with leftists is when they confuse church or "society" with government, and thereby want to enforce their orthodoxy through government.

That's also the problem with some rightists when the subject is, say, marijuana.

I take it you are a libertarian.

All their arguments boil down to “I want to smoke dope.”

If that's true, then I'm definitely not a libertarian - I don't want to smoke dope, and I don't want government to tell people how to use their money or what to put in their bodies.

I'm a conservative, and I do smoke pot. Conservatively. ;^)

I have difficulty with the moral zealotry that goes rabid for a plant with innocuous side effects while corporations support the pumping of alcohol, nicotine, and elective pharmaceuticals into the national bloodstream; the resulting holocaust somehow acceptable losses in our media consciousness.

However. I shall not bitch to the Captain that the smoking lamp is not lit, while the national Ship is presently SINKING.

Man the pumps! (And pass the fatty!)
