Personal responsibility? What does that have with the question?
I am personally responsible for MY ACTIONS. God is my judge. Your opinion is anti-thetical to the Constitution, and to the Scriptures. How does that relate to personal responsibility?
You imply that it is wrong to smoke a green plant, since you agree it should be the gum't s job to define it that way. I see nothing in my Scriptures which would prohibit it. Do you find it in yours? I see lots of moderation required ... but the only forbidden thing was found in the Garden of Eden!
Your statist views are duly noted... and liberty apparently has no place in your economy.
The myth of "the pusher". It's always been a myth.
The drug war is being pushed by social so-called conservatives here because they take no responsibility over their own children.
I despise big government in any form and I have as little love for social so-called conservative big government as I do for Johnson/Carter/Clinton/Obama big government.
I'm libertarian leaning, but I learned from living in Mindanao that government is a necessary evil. Someone has to build basic infrastructure.
