Then you would explain to your daughter that just because something is legal doesn’t make it right. For instance, alcohol is legal. Surely you’re not saying that this keeps you from making a moral argument against its use or abuse.
Do you have children? They are impacted by what is approved and legal as they search out their meaning in life. We hope they adopt our principles, but they are their own entities when they reach 18 (mine are 18 and 19). When there is nothing Taboo about behavior because the leaders do not suggest it is, then an argument ensues that doesn't need to happen.
How can I support amoral or waffling positions from leaders I vote for without weakening the principles I stand for. No Drugs or Baby killing, period! You need to be a productive responsible contributor to our nation.
Fortunately they see Obama for who he is. Admitting I voted for someone who is willing to leave openings for bad behavior is unacceptable. That is why I didn't vote for Romney.
I don't want my daughters to abuse alcohol as their parents don't. If they choose too, I will handle it the same way as them smoking pot. Stop abusing it, or be an unsupported loser that will become a burden on society. Fortunately where we live, using pot will put you in jail.
Watch "Up In Smoke" if you want clarity. "It's me Dave, open up, i've got the stuff." "Who?" "It's me Dave, open up, i've got the stuff". "Dave's not here."
