If you believe that Prohibitionist Muslims (or Prohibitionist Christians, for that matter) should not break into your house and put a gun to your head to prevent you from "becoming intoxicated"... ...do thou likewise. For this is the law and the prophets. ~~ I would have them do to me that which I want done to others. 494 posted on 11/02/2002 10:49 PM PST by #3Fan

So, let's see... You want them to define for you, according to THEIR determinations, what substances you will be permitted to consume... and to break down your door and put a gun to your head if you violate THEIR decision?? You're lying. You don't want that at all.

You KNOW that such behavior is a Violation of the Golden Rule.

What about Christian Scientists, who don't believe that ANY sort of conventional medicines should be used? Should they do to you that which you want to do to others??

Yes, I'm willing to live under the same laws as the ones I vote for.

I would hope that there would be something to stop me from being a toothless drug addict.

Through the law, yes. I choose to live in a constitutional republic. It guarantees that I can live around people who believe as I what's good for society. That's why I'm a strong believer in state's rights.
