“...I’d happily pardon hippies their pot to get a society less bent on muffling public expression of gospel....”
True to that, for sure.
I just find them incredibly ignorant, arrogant, stupid, intolerant and violent in the crap they do. Just pure moronic.
And yet if the risk of getting wasted must be incurred in order to have enough freedom to robustly support the opposite — I would embrace permitting such a risk.
Soi disant good people who have no robust place for God are even worse morons. Less bad a pot habit than a hypocrisy habit.
