I'm just pointing out how much easier it is defending liberal dopers against the crimes of conservative bigots

ROTLMAO!

There is but one moral Law which everyone is obligated to adhere to regardless of their personal beliefs or disbeliefs.

Please enlighten us, oh great Illumined Yogi.

Tell us of Your One Moral Law.

[Texasforever]

Tell us of Your One Moral Law.

Yap,yap,yap, snarl, growl lift leg.

[Texasforever]

Sure thing tex, whatever you say HAS to be right

Most of the time.

[Cultural Jihad]

If those drugs are important enough to assume the risk, that is a choice you freely make.

So you don't buy into their lame argument that laws somehow thwart free will?

[tpaine]

You spew garbage where ever you post. And are intellectually incapable of cleaning up your own mess.

-- Call in the anonomods, maybe they'll clean up for you.

[Texasforever]

You spew garbage where ever you post. And are intellectually incapable of cleaning up your own mess.

How do you spell that?

[tpaine]

Tell me your one moral law for guidence, that I may answer correctly, oh Jihadic Yogi. -- I beg you.

[tpaine]

Who cares?

[Texasforever]

Who cares?

Then why did you ask?

[Cultural Jihad]

Tell me...

Don't be cruel to yourself.
Don't be cruel to others.
Don't be cruel to God.
In other words, be kind.

[tpaine]

How DO you spell that?

[Texasforever]

How DO you spell that?

THAT! Do I get a prize?

[tpaine]

Sure, a gold star as FR's foremost dolt.

[Texasforever]

Sure, a gold star.

Wow, a gold star. Thanks Tpaine.

"Don't be cruel to yourself." - Only jihadic weirdos like you are, as a rule.

"Don't be cruel to others." - Lest they be cruel to you. - Sure. - Golden rule I live with. [Carry a big 'ruler' tho, just in case]

"Don't be cruel to God." - Your God can be harmed by man? Mine can't.

"In other words, be kind." - The kindest thing you can do for most people, CJ, is to let them live in peace to make their own way. It's the constitutional way. -- Why don't you try to practice what you preach?

[Roscoe]

Policy' prohibitions? By elected officials? - Good god.

Since day one. Read a book.

[Roscoe]

"...yet I believe that heroin, cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy and cognates of these should be legal and available in exactly the same way as nicotine and alcohol...."

Reading is fundamental.

The Federal Government is under no obligation to recognize laws passed outside the "Republican Government" guaranteed by the Constitution.

Someone ought to sue the community college you went to to mislearn the law so badly. Referenda are legitimate legal mechanisms and it is up to the states to decide how they work. The FedGov has no standing on this unless the state has somehow run afoul of the XIVth. You are parroting a true jackbooted thug's interpretation fo federal power. But I'm sure you think you are smarter than James Madison.

----------------------------------

To dream the impossible dream,
to fight the unbeatable foe,
to bear with unbearable sorrow,
to run where the brave dare not go...

To right the unrightable wrong,
to love pure and chaste from afar,
to try when your arms are too weary
to reach the unreachable star!

This is my quest --
to follow that star
no matter how hopeless,
no matter how far --
To fight for the right
without question or pause,
to be willing to march into hell
for a heavenly cause!

And I know
if I'll only be true
to this glorious quest
that my heart
will be peaceful and calm
when I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this
that one man, scorned and covered with scars,
still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable stars!
