Clueless, utterly clueless.

I prefer Doritos, or chips.

Well being a libertarian, I guess that puts me on the right. At any rate, I find it hypocritical when those on the right preach small government, but then turn around and try to legislate morality, and dictate the choices of others because they don't agree with them personally. There are a lot of things that I personally don't agree with, but I'm not going to tell others how to live there lives when it has no effect on me! And I know all about drunks. As former DJ, I worked around them every weekend! Now, I do drink beer, but some of these people were out of their minds! Destructive, belligerent, loud, obnoxious.... you get the point.

Eventually it will be legal in all 50 states, and the dominos will fall much like it did with prohibition of alcohol.

Small government and lawless state are not synonymous

When it comes to mind altering substances, yes they do. They are held accountable for your work-place injuries and productivity.

If that had been an alcohol-based event, it would have been a disaster of epic proportions, full of assaults, rapes, and possibly a murder or two, lots of fires and a good smattering of broken storefronts and overturned cars.

And yet ethanol consumption is legal and pot users are all dangerous deviants of poor character. Ridiculous!
