"What, you want to ban the drug alcohol?"

Is that all you've got?
Exactly where did I say that?
What I want to ban is stupidity. That, and "well-done" steak.
Is alcohol ILLEGAL as of today?
Is nicotine ILLEGAL as of today?
Caffeine?

If you want to discuss legalizing or criminalizing a given drug, that is a different argument. The question at hand is; Is it tyranny for the judicial system to punish those individuals that engage in a criminal activity? The fact that you, Soros and Ricky Williams don't agree with a law is just to damn bad. There are people out there that don't agree with laws that prohibit them from having sex with their 13 year old daughter or a 12 year old boy. Tough. Overall the majority of our society still find these behaviors unacceptable. Don't despair yet, if your lib buddies ever gain power, you will get some of what you want.

Freedom to destroy families and lives with drugs?

What, you want to ban the drug alcohol?

Exactly where did I say that?

You suggested that there was no freedom to destroy families and lives with drugs; alcohol is a drug that has destroyed families and lives.

The question at hand is; Is it tyranny for the judicial system to punish those individuals that engage in a criminal activity?

No, the question is: Is it tyranny for there to be laws against activities that harm only the participants?

Overall the majority of our society still find these behaviors unacceptable.

And if they found it acceptable, it would be just fine by you?
