[Appalled but Not Surprised]

I think Marx was thinking of YOU guys when he said that opium is the religion of the masses.

Strange... I don't use pot or any other mind altering drugs...

And the reason why?

I don't want to. But somehow no one else can come to that same conclusion unless the nanny state tells them too...

The same argument is made about guns. The little people can't be trusted with such important life and death choices... Only the elites can deal with such major choices... Just ask Diane Feinstein... She carries, but doesn't want to allow anyone else to...

The same old elitism. I can choose wisely but my neighbor can't so I'm going to make the choice for him...

Do you know the difference between pot and opium or do you just lump everything together?

Demonization is a tool exclusively used by liberals, socialists, dictators etc. when the facts are all on the other side. Take off your ballet shoes and stop dancing your way through the subject.

As to your "readership", it looks like you are imagining yourself to be a part of the media. That speaks volumes about you.

Nice try. Marx said that "religion is the opium of the masses". You have it backwards.

Good morning.
"I think Marx was thinking of YOU guys when he said that opium is the religion of the masses."

Marx said religion was the opiate of the masses. You have it wrong again, FRiend. At least you are consistent, eh.
