I'm all for backbone and self control. Are they also what you advocate to combat drugs and alcoholism - or do you for some reason favor laws in those cases but not overeating and never moving?

Backbone and self control also preclude drugs and alcoholism, or didn't you know that?

Absolutely. How does that relate to your point that "Laws WERE made for a purpose and they were MEANT to protect people" - or were you just free-associating in post #10?
