to ban alcohol now would result in the instantaneous unelection of anyone proposing it, if not open rebellion.

Even if true, that doesn't stop you from calling for it. Do you? If not, why not?

Doesn't debating with someone against pot legalization by pointing out their contradiction in not supporting the same for alcohol feel like beating your head against a wall???

When you're on the side that wants something, you're going to have to focus on the benefits or the lack of serious negatives for YOUR issue and prove to the other side that you're proposal isn't going to negatively impact them. Until the pro marajuana side gets that straight you're just going to be treading water in a sea of anti's.

Its not like pro alcohol people have to put up a similar fight to keep alcohol legal (though they do need vigilance to keep from getting nickle and dimed to death). IMO from the WOD threads I've lurked on pro folks do most of the anti's arguing for them...

I've stated how I, as a current anti, could stand to be swayed in support of the pro line and I'm firm on that. I also believe that at least a few other Freepers might be swayed by that line of reasoning. Its the pro sides turn to explore how to achieve that, particularly among themselves.

I'm also amazed that we've made 60 some odd posts without a major incineration session in here ;)
