Your clumsy deceptive omission proves only one thing:

You presume that if governments take actions to prevent the moral destruction of the society they must be abusive.

Absolute Freedom always leads to anarchy and any thinking person knows that. If man refuses to restrain himself, then government surely will.

WMarshal: It is amazing how many Freepers are more than happy for abusive big government. [underlined portion omitted by itsahoot]

You find it strange that freepers can be happy without being stoned?

This remains a clumsy deception - WMarshal said nothing about FReepers being stoned or not.

You

No, WMarshal.

No, he says that banning pot for adults is abusive big government - YOU presume that the absence of such laws would mean the moral destruction of the society.

Absolute Freedom always leads to anarchy

Nobody here supports anarchy - what many of us support is limiting government to protecting individual rights, which are not violated by someone else smoking pot.

Indeed - but no Founding Father ever claimed that government cold make people moral or religious.
