"Not at all. My answers have been quite simple and entirely rational. I just enjoy hearing you guys hysterically explain how alcohol is so bad, but legalizing drugs will solve that problem."

Perhaps when you give answers. But when you are asked serious questions that go directly to the real issue - not that legalizing drugs will make alcohol issues better (which is a silly characterization - you have not seen anyone make such an argument), but that there are serious policy considerations arising from the WoD that have nothing to do with whether marijuana is "bad," but rather are focused on appropriate use of government resources, appropriate reasons for curtailing the freedom of Americans and eroding the Bill or Rights, and the extent to which the "harm" resulting from use of a substance serves as a basis for focusing a substantial portion of the criminal justice system on such use, and how much "harm" is necessary to justify such focus - you just avoid the questions.

Why not simply respond to 607 and 632?

Um dopey, that is the only point that I am interested in talking about. Find somebody else to talk about your other "issues." If you can.

And that is EXACTLY the logic that you dreamers are using "Alcohol is bad and it is legal, so make pot legal."

Talk about nuts.
