Right, anarchy is ALWAYS the very best form of society to strive for. Let everyone do what ever they feel is right so long as they aren’t hurting someone else. Right?

But what you fail to see, is the long term damage and apathy that hedonism creates. It usually winds up in an Oligarchy of some form or another.

Do you believe it was good for the country to end prohibition? Just curious.

Straw man argument. We did not have anarchy with legal drugs for 130 years in this country. We did not devolve into oligarchy.

In the last 40 years we have had the war on some drugs. It seems to me we are headed for oligarchy very fast.

I don't know how I'd survive without people like you telling everyone else how to live their lives.

I thought this was a site dedicated to freedom and liberty and the Constitution?
