Are not dangerous to the population to the degree that Heroin, Crack, Meth and Weed are.
Alcohol comes closest, but we had a vote on that and the nation decided to accept the level of death and destruction that it causes.
The vice-police help ‘shame’ and crucify those who don't fall into the ‘condoned behaviors’. Not to mention now saying (like we all knew would happen) that ‘now’ that the government owns our bodies (ObamaCare) anyone who smokes, drinks, fat, etc. are a like a thief to your neighbor's pocketbook. Of course, this doesn't apply to those who are illegal aliens or participate in PC OK behaviors (sleeping w/####, ‘active’ lifestyles like skateboarding, violent protests).
Those of you who want to put down my ‘Conservatism’ because I KNOW our Founding Fathers never meant for the government to forbid them to drink, smoke, or what have you, I challenge you to show me where any of them thought the government should outlaw those things. And no, they are not the same thing as gay marriage. Gay marriage is totally new ‘idea’ which would have never seen the light of day. It is something that never happened in history. But now that we given up what a Free Society is even based upon (self-rule and family centered) and now we are influenced by fixed statistics, polls, focus-groups, and the whims of a government bureaucrat.
