... I am a civilized man.

Doesn't sound like it to me.

Sounds like you've been living on a desert island all your life, without human contact and just recently, have joined civilized society.

In our civilzed American society, the will of the people, is carried out through the election of individuals, who act as the citizens representatives, using proper judgment, for what is in the best interests of the country. It's a good process and one that works well. OTOH, human beings aren't perfect creatures and from time to time, make mistakes. But all in all, our political system works fine.

We don't need a moral dictator to figure anything out. American's are a moral and ethical people. The Founding Fathers gave us the neccessary tools to operate a orderly and law abiding society, where freedom and liberty reign supreme. That's why our constitutional Republic is the envy of the world.

First you advocate a dictatorial enforcement of drug laws that have no foundation in the Constitution. Now you say, "the Founding Fathers gave us the neccessary tools to operate a orderly and law abiding society" (which by the way I agree with in spades). But the Constitution has a Bill of Rights which guarantees freedom FROM excessive intrusion into the peoples lives. Yet earlier you posited that those who proposed drug legalization had no right to impose their own rights on the rest of society. Hum, someone is confused here, and I suspect it ain't me.
