So what is pornography? Is it all obscenity? When does it start? Can it ever be considered political speech? What other speech would you like to limit?

How about anything that comes out of the mouths of Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and any other leftist for starters? As far as what constitutes pornography for much of the history of our country people didn't have a problem with knowing it when they saw it. But when religion and morality were removed from the equation enough morally relativistic people infiltrated our legal system and began asking the same questions. When morality is taken out of the picture then there's no such thing as pornography. Anything goes. That's why we have people seriously fighting the constitutionally of not being able to show kiddie porn today. That's why we have NAMBLA.

That is interesting considering the number of people who I know who smoke/did smoke weed who are conservative. And really, is "turning people into leftists" the best you can come up with?

If you know a lot of people that smoke dope then you're not hanging out with conservatives. We used to call those kinds of people "hippies". Or liberals. Take your pick. And that's not the best I can come up with, but it's the most accurate.

As far as debating "medical" marijuana there are three classes of those who believe in medical marijuana:

1. Leftists who want to push marijuana legalization to destroy the moral fabric of our country.

2. Stoners who want to smoke pot without having to worry about the legal consequences and who want to be absolved of any kind of moral condemnation.

3. Conservatives who have been duped by the first two groups.

So now you admit to not even wanting to allow political speech. Apparently if speech is “immoral” by your standards it can be banned. That is a truly alarming statement.

You can ask my parent’s what their political ideology is, but I can assure you it is conservative. To the best of my knowledge the only democrat my mother has ever voted for was a neighbor running for state representative. But I guess she is a liberal because she ingested the smoke of a plant. Are there any other activities that turn people liberal? And the way you act about them, do I need to check under my bed for leftists every night?

If the most accurate danger to smoking marijuana is a change in political ideology, the prohibition on it is more of a sham than I thought it was previously.

How will marijuana destroy the moral fabric of our society? By taking away the right of government to kick down the door of old ladies?

Do you condemn people who drink alcohol as well? A far more dangerous substance?
