The italic quote that was made to look like it came from my #100 did not

It was in BOLDED italic to indicate that it came from the post to which #100 was a response (#98). If you still don't get it, ask a grownup to explain it.

So should it be against the law to be drunk in one's own home with no minor children present?

Say your prayers, don't do drugs or get drunk real regular and you will be the better for it.

Your cowardice knows no bounds.

Why does the libertarian party need to embrace every vice they can?

They don't ... they embrace the freedom to commit or not commit vice as one chooses, while government limits itself to its proper sphere of defending individual liberties.

So you are saying the bold quote you posted that referred to my #100 that looked like it was a response to me was a quote in fact from yourself in #98?

Wow, that "does" get confusing, I would think you would have directed it back to #98 so we could all know what you were talking about.

"Your cowardice knows no bounds."

Do you intend to persist in such personal attacks?

[A CA Guy]

How come libertarian are so addicted to vices and not virtues? And how is being addicted to vices conservative?

I don't think we need to grow our drunks

Why don't you think we should shrink them by banning alcohol? (Not just DUI or public drunkenness, but a blanket ban like we have on other drugs.)

If it seems appropriate to his blatant evasions, yes.

Okay, I'll buy a clue.

When are you "at liberty to break the law" as opposed to "not at liberty to break the law?"

Never. You might as well say "A is A". It's like listening to a 'Rat spin doctor. It sounds like they're saying something but when you parse it out it just goes in circles.

I think being drunk on a regular basis is a problem.

If it was reported that you were home drunk out of control every day by a neighbor, you might find yourself under observation in a mental ward for three days at least.

The issue then would be the question of not only are you a danger to the population, but also yourself.
You could burn yourself up smoking while passed out drunk.

Not good!

Best to join a book club rather than get into that garbage IMO.

[A CA Guy]

Alcohol is illegal in public over a certain level of toxicity.

Your other illegal drugs are considered as bad as extreme alcohol toxicity from first use.

[Michael Goldsberry]

When are you "at liberty to break the law"

"Never."

Thanks for the clue, but that's the same one I already had.

Bush won't be in power forever, Ashcroft is already gone.

Typical crap, blaming Bush.

A good friend of mine was busted in 1994 for marijuana possession with intent to deliver (well, it WAS 15 pounds) and was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison (which has no parole) after he refused to roll over on HIS supplier coming up from Texas.

He just got sent to a halfway house this summer to get ready for his final release in February.

This was done under the CLINTON administration, which proves that Chong is simply a delusional Bush hater.

Personally, I think pot should be decriminalized, although not totally. But to claim that the "evil" Bush is behind all marijuana prosecutions is pure baloney.

Too bad you don't know what to do with it.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Liberty!

"Too bad you don't know what to do with it."

Enlighten me.

[tacticalogic]

Sorry I don't have an explaination I can dumb down to the level of the punch line of a blonde joke for you.

[silent_jonny]

This makes me wonder just who you are working for?

Uh-huh.

Listen, Bill. Do us both a favor and don't ever post a message to me again. I'll do likewise. Kay?

[Michael Goldsberry]

... straight to insults, so predictable...

Got a flash for ya, studly... there were NO ILLEGAL WEAPONS OR EXPLOSIVES FOUND AT WACO. None. Not one. Nor have the BATFags ever explained how such things as the "child abuse" (a tale told after the raid went wrong and their lies fell apart) and the "drug labs" (the lie used to get TNG helo support, which was also exposed after the raid fell apart) CONCEIVABLY fall under BATFag jurisdiction. Yet these lies were handed out by both BATFag HQ and the Feebies, with a straight face no less. The whole thing was, in fact, over a tax matter of $200 or less. However, the BATFags were hunting a bigger budget and more power under the new prez who was far more sympathetic to their gun-grabbing aims than even Bush I, as bad as HE was. It was never, ever about the lies that were spread by a cooperative media and bought by the willing-to-believe morons like you.
