"Our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, "

All based on natural rights that have been given by God -- this is what the Founding Fathers envisioned -- a nation of moral people. We have been given freedom to do what is right not to do what feels good. It is difficult to undo the leftist programing of the last 50-60 years that is now ingrained in society that to be conservative is to be un-American and responsibility can and must be done by legislative bodies.

This presumes that smoking pot is an immoral action. I guess you also presuppose that there is a scale on which God measures these things. So to God, a hit of acid is worse than a line of coke, a line of coke is worse than a tab of X, a tab of X is worse than a joint and a joint is worse than a glass of wine. Does that about sum up your moral argument? Do you understand how utterly bankrupt such an argument is?

" "We have been given freedom to do what is right not to do what feels good."

It is obvious we agree on much, I particularly agree about how many so called "conservatives" are wrong thinking more legislation cam make a more moral people.

But be careful with your statement above. Doing something because it "feels good", even if it is self destructive, is still a right we should have.

I prefer the founding fathers attitude, that you are free to do as you please (even what feels good), as long as you do not violate the equal rights of others.
