“and protect people from their own weaknesses.”
Which is not only a fools errand, it’s evil.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C. S. Lewis

I agree, but they cannot see it.
And never will.
But soon they will be relegated to fighting those local battles until one day they realize the war is lost.
Even then their point of view will not change, but they will no longer have power to exercise it.
Federal decriminalization is imminent and will occur before the 2020 election IMHO. The genie is out of the bottle and there is no going back.
Love this quote! So true! C.S. Lewis was so smart and wise!
