Somehow, I figured your response would be something along those lines.
Sure sounds like 'principles be damned' to me.
"Principles" aren't all created equal.
For example, your fight for the "principle" of free drugs is not one that I share, nor can I imagine it being something for which the heroes of the American Revolution would have fought.
Now, if you want to talk about REAL principles, like those embodied in the Holy Bible--for which the heroes of the American Revolution DID fight--we might have a positive conversation.
Please show me where...ANYWHERE...I have advocated or used the term "free drugs".
Never happened nor ever will.
What I have advocated is that government stop being everyone's nanny...and return the RESPONSIBILITY of our lives to each of us.
Which is the way God planned it....for each of us to be RESPONSIBLE for our own lives..and to make our own decisions.
Not to mention that the WOD..has made a mockery of our Constitution.
Every SINGLE person on FR who has come out against the WOD believes (it seems) pretty much the same way. I have NEVER seen a post from anyone (tho I am sure there may be one or two) that advocate the massive use of drugs.
But it is much easier to silence our concerns...by just saying to oneself..."They only want drugs...yada-yada".
