Yeah, and let's make carjacking, murder and rape no longer criminal acts. After all, wanting someone else's car can be clearly understood and punishing anyone for taking it or anything else someone owns, is just taking advantage of a human trait.
And as to murder, or even rape, for that matter, why the desire to kill someone who has wronged you or rape a woman/child because she/he says no, is hardly acceptable in today's society, is it?

Remember, if it (whatever it is)feels good, do it!

No, let's keep laws against acts that violate rights, and eliminate laws against acts---like drug selling and using---that do not violate rights.

Excellent! The perspicuity of Mr. Tennant's statements needed just such a contrast to set them off. Well done.

"Natural rights are those which appertain to man in right of his existence. Of this kind are all the intellectual rights, or rights of the mind, and also all those rights of acting as an individual for his own comfort and happiness, which are not injurious to the natural rights of others." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791.

The rights of one individual end where an other's rights begin.
There must be an other to steal from, murder or rape.
It is an inalienable right for an individual to plant a seed, grow and consume a gift of God.
You have the guile to advocate legalizing violent criminal acts which violate the rights of others in support of your own rights violating opinion in favor of the WOsD.

But, you support the WOD which does the same to those that will not 'Just Say No." How is this acceptable? A country at war with its citizenry is not a 'society' by any definition of the word nor can it possess peace, particularly not for export. A "stable society" is not one in which citizens are warred upon by an evil spirit of unconstitutional nature bent on controlling the minds of the populace through false propaganda and deadly force directed by a Czar. Neither is it a stable society when an individual is imprisoned for possession of a flower from the garden of God because it may alter the thoughts in that individual in a manner deemed inappropriate by corporate pawns seeking to maintain the efficiency of their chattel.

"...declaring war against the natural rights of all mankind, and extirpating the defenders thereof from the face of the earth, is the concern of every man to whom nature hath given the power of feeling" Thomas Paine from 'Common Sense'
