“(No fear of man, none!)”

I love that.....fear only God who can destroy body and soul forever.

“If you are unaware of this liberal tactic employed by all liberal entertainment, talk shows, movies, lawyers, educators, politicians,etc. for decades then you need to stop all arguments until you wise up.”

I'm not in disagreement. But I will remain vehement regardless of specious titles of “Strawman” thrown my way.

There is a mind set for some on FR that has a well orchestrated argument that won't tolerate any common sense probing to their claims.

To wit, that marijuana use won't increase...etc.

They say no and say something about Prohibition and the increase afterward, when there is ample evidence that there is simply no way to say no to an increase after legalization.

It's a mantra....and I hate mantras...right or left.

Listen, Puckster, I, personally, have no idea whether marijuana use will increase or decrease after we return to the way it was before it was un-Constitutionally illegalized in the 1930s.

I won't claim that I don't care, however, because I, personally, believe that, on the whole, sobriety is a good thing and it would be absolutely great if everyone in the nation were to suddenly stop smoking (cigarettes AND marijuana), stop drinking alcohol, stop watching mindless gameshows, cease eating Twinkies, go to bed every night at 9 o'clock sharp, etc.

But I do feel that it is simply not my place - and certainly not the responsibility of the Federal Govt. - to tell adult citizens what they can and cannot put into their bodies.

Regards,
