you’ve made all the standard arguments in favor of sodomy, etc.,

I've made no arguments in favor of anything but the freedom of consenting adults to do as they choose in private.

privacy, as well as having a drug sodden society destroy its self

Of course I don't favor that - nor have I seen any reason to expect it if drugs are legalized. When Prohibition ended, an alcohol sodden society destroy itself.

Your craven misrepresentations of my posts are duly noted.

the fact that alcohol is often used to impair judgment and ability leaves you with a very thin reed on which to hang your claimed distinction from other drugs - particularly when one notes that impairment was the whole purpose of alcohol use when that mind-altering drug was illegal.

Not so, not so. Wine at meals and celebrations has been a tradition long before there was a U.S. or Prohibition.

Getting drunk dates back as far - your reed remains thin.

Did you think those people suddenly headed to a speakeasy to get drunk just because of Prohibition?

No, I know they were acting on the age-old tradition of getting drunk - your reed remains thin.

You said you suspect you have nothing to add and I think you’ve done a fine job of it.

Thank you and good day.
