For the umpteenth time: there are people who have a principled pro-liberty stance on drugs who do not use drugs. Either you were unaware of that, in which case I hope I've fixed the problem, or you were aware of that, in which case you're intellectually dishonest.
LSD, cocaine, heroin, PCP (God only knows what they'll be harping about in 20 yrs) is OFF LIMITS to my kids.
They is, is they? Seriously--what on earth does how you constrain your children, which is within very broad limits your business, have to do with the question of drug legalization? If there's anyone here who objects to your forbidding your children to use currently illegal drugs, I'd be surprised.
Well there it is. The infinite illogical conclusion that whatsoever ye do in the privacy of one's home (often involving the nose, the arm, and/or a needle) Never Never Never affects anyone outside the home. Tell you what Mr. Brilliant, go do a survey of various security companies around the good ole U.S. of A, and ask them how they feel about their employees doing drugs in their homes. Ask Microsoft how it feels about their employees (programmers, system analysts, accountants, etc) doing drugs at home in their own "private" setting. Ask the school teachers, firemen, police officers, principals, clergymen, and neurosurgeons how THEY feel about it. Ask them if they think it wont affect them in the least if someone next door shoots up/ingests LSD on a weekly basis. Then get back to me.
