I think you're on the mark there. As anyone who knows me can tell you, I oppose drug legalization and thus I enjoy conversing with folks like CJ and Ol'Sparky. But I also like people like Bella and OWK who disagree but can defend their positions intelligently.

I dunno. It seems like we are fighting amongst ourselves more lately. Even when we disagree, it just gets nasty and it shouldn't be that way. Get a bunch of folks together and keep them there for along time, and eventually you'll get on each other's nerves sometimes. :) Works that way in virtual reality too, I guess.

Maybe need an official FR grudge match in person. Complete with mud wrestling. ;-)

Legalizing drugs would be a disaster for our nation. It's been tried in several states in the 1970s with marijuana and the public demanded tougher drug laws. The idea of drug legalization will tar the conservative movement and pave the way for Democrats to regain power.

Good post Big B:

Y'know, maybe we ought to thank ol' watsonfellow for this whiney thread. I think there may actually be something that the Social Conservatives, Libertarians and Neo Cons may actually agree upon:

"Let the will of the people be expressed through their duly elected representatives and their own individual examples, not through regulatory fiat backed by government weapons."

Ya think?
