. Druggies, er, "those concerned with civil liberties," know they can't win going in the front way, so true to their authoritarian roots they'll try around back.

Yeah! All those authoritarian druggies! Try again.

Don't believe me? An "authoritarian" is one who insists that the will of the people is unnecessary, that an unbending application of law as interpreted BY (and usually "for") the authoritarian reigns supreme.

For example, the authoritarian druggies want to subject the will of the great majority of the people in this country, those who do not wish drugs legalized, to their own will, hiding behind the Constitution as an excuse to drag everyone else down with them.

In essence, these pseudo-libertarians aren't really concerned about "liberty" in the abstract at all, but rather they want sin without remorse, crime without conscience, cause without effect, rash action without consequence.

When you explain to them that their concept of "not doing harm to others" is flawed, then you're a "statist" (A "statist," I have come to understand, is anyone that believes in obeying the law, even when they don't feel like it to).
