It was a good rant FrankR, and I agree with almost all of it. I would recommend that you re-examine your implied support for the WOSD.

IMHO, prohibition of alcohol was one of the first major power grabs, it started gun regulations and established a criminal/court/government partnership that we have never cleaned up. The WOD, especially on cannabis, has extended the power and corruption of government to an unbelieveable level and has clear links to government involvement in traffiking.

One of the prices of freedom is to retain ours, we must be willing to allow freedom to others. If an action has no direct impact on anothers rights, and unConstitutional privileges granted to us like health care are not a right, they must be at least tolerated.

I don't trust people who think anothers rights end the same place their personal vices do.

I'm ranted out now myself, thanks for your thoughtful reply.

The main counter argument I can make to being guilty of that is, I have no idea what WOSD stands for.

BTW, I am in no way - with my rant - supporting the legalization of drugs. We already are headed towards a stoned society with illegal drugs and LEGAL alcohol.

Running a society high on (anything) is like running and insane asylum, except in the asylum, at least you can keep them under lock and key.

The countless lives that have been wasted on drugs and booze a pity and has cost this country plenty.

To paraphrase your statement, I don't trust people who think we all should support and tolerate their personal vices.
