Nothing to do with illegal drugs should be made legal.
Why? Because they're illegal?
So, when it was illegal to meet in groups and talk about subverting the King, Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, et al. shouldn't have done it because it was 'illegal'?
And fighting against the crown was 'illegal', Americans shouldn't have picked up arms and fought and revolted against the Crown, again, they were morally wrong, eh?
I bet you don't speed, always wear your seatbelt and don't take the tags off of matresses. I know I don't.
However, that doesn't mean that once something is illegal, it should stay illegal. Or that because it's illegal, it's morally wrong.
Believe it or not, lawmakers are not perfect. (*shock*) Also, lawmakers want more power and the WOD is a great excuse. (*shock again*)
And wanting to overturn laws does not mean that anyone is automatically a member of, or supporter of, or in defense of 'hardcore leftist anti-American groups', regardless of whether or not they share views on certain items.
It's a wide world and not as black and white or linear as you might think.
Take a class in Ethics or Morality and you'll see what I mean. And stop small-sampling. It's disingenuous.

re 128 -- what are you talking about.
You stoners can generally never hold a coherent thought in your heads.
