"Government already makes those decisions. Do you oppose that?"

Hmmmm. I thought it was the people, through their elected representatives, who made those decisions. You say "government" the way others would say "dictatorship". Feeling helpless today?

No, I don't oppose the people setting standards for society.

And here I thought you did. But, it appears that you're willing to set aside your principles just to get your precious drugs legalized. Federal government mandated regulations and restrictions? No problem, says Protagoras. Just please make drugs legal.

Only when it acts like one. The way you want it.

People always set standards for society. You want a small group with guns to set them. You confuse government with society. It's just one of the thousands of things you are confused about.

Feeling helpless today?

Actually I feel great. Just another day showing how authoritarian Taliban types like you are hyperventilating over your loss of power since your liberal friends were turned out in greater numbers in the last election.

And here I thought you did.

Again, you were wrong. That's a habit for you.

But, it appears that you're willing to set aside your principles just to get your precious drugs legalized.

My principles remain intact. And you are the drug user, not me. I have never used an illegal substance in my life. You on the other hand have been a heavy user.

No problem, says Protagoras. Just please make drugs legal AGAIN. And respect my human rights.
