To equate the right to vote and to not be discriminated against because of one's skin color with wanting the right to ingest illegal drugs is shameful. Shame on you.

I also find it very telling that you (righfully) support Rosa Parks' law breaking in support of her Constitutional civil rights not to be discriminated against, yet you do not support people breaking the law in support of their civil rights to keep and bear arms.

Rosa Parks and those who fought for civil rights did what they did because they believed what the Constitution says about the freedom of all Americans. saw an injustice in the law of the day, and worked to change the law.

I support relegalization of drugs because I believe what the Constitution says about the limitations of federal power and what Thomas Jefferson said about the proper limits of all government (see my tagline and FR home page).

To equate the right to vote and to not be discriminated against because of one's skin color with wanting the right to ingest illegal drugs is shameful. Shame on you.

I did not "equate" them, nor am I the least bit ashamed for supporting our Constitution and the full range of liberties with which we were endowed by our Creator.
