1. Are you for or against the legalization of drugs?

Loaded question. If I say I'm for it, then you tell me I don't have anything to complain about. If I say I'm against it, I want to see babies hooked on crack.

2. Is the problem, as it relates to the thread, that there is abuse or that the wrong government is involved in the abuse?

Another loaded question. Whichever one I choose, you'll deride me for not caring about the other.

3. Do you believe the Federal government has the Constitutional power to regulate and/or prohibit the imports from abroad?

That one may be loaded too. Is this a choice between no power an all, and unlimited power for any reason (or none at all)?

4. What if any authority do you believe the FBI should have?

They should have the power to investigate federal crimes.

Look friend, the only thing "loaded" about my questions is that they are clear, thus requiring clear answers. I still have no freakin idea what your real positions are beyond the esoteric, because you don't want to defend them, so you won't state them.

I'm not trying to trick you, I'm trying to understand your position. This is difficult as you back away from everything, as soon as I point out the problems with the alternative.

Let me give you an "example" for #1.

1. "For legalization, because God gave us self-determination and you can't stop people bent on self destruction."

Now I might disagree with that. I might think it callous. And I'll tell you that. But I don't think it requires "wanting to see babies hooked on crack".

You somehow think I'm trying to trick you, or get you, or that I think you have no basis. You are wrong on all counts. I just don't think the WOD is a good, rational, or tactically sound place for you to start your crusade. Additionally, I find your assertion that this makes me a roll in the pork, federal pie eater to be absurd.

I'm closer to your position than 95% of the population. If you can't have a civil, honest discussion with me, where you address the challenges to your ideas, then you might as well forget about the other 45% that you will need.
