One of the most profound epiphanies of my life was when I read a book on Ted Bundy the serial killer and I realized that he had made a rational argument to justify his murdering. There is the whole Marxist system that justifies taking from those who work to give to those who are lazy. I'm sure that the Marxists use profound arguments too.(In the last century 100 million were killed by reasoned arguments to protect the state.)

What do I think God thinks about taking acid over marijuana? Both are sins. The nature of Man since Adam has been to rebel and the rationalizing of sin.

Marxist theory holds the state in utter contempt, labels it an oppressor of the people. In a perfect marxist society the state withers away to an anarchist nirvana.

Sound familiar? It should. It's the libertarian mindset, too. Marxists and libertarians, especially pro-dope libertarians, are siamese twin zealots. Like all zealots, they would destroy (liquidate is the more neutral term used) the "misfits" who stand in the way of their heaven on earth.

Pro-dopers are marxists. They are sympatico to a perfect degree.
