i have noted, that most inteligent people try things before they develop a strong opinion of them. so eather all these morally upright citizens who condem drugs have tryed them themselves, or they are all stupid. i dont mind that they change their mind, and in a way that they feel is for the better. you shouldnt have to always think the same thing. but at the same time, they should realize that they experimented and then decided first hand what they felt. why should they then deny me the same right? they went out and experimented becuase they didnt want to jsut take the handed down opnion. blindly accepting the rhitoric that drugs are bad is just as stupid as blindly accepting that they are good. so, says i, allow me to try these things, and decide for myself what i should think.
unfortunately, this wont fit in with the general way things work in America. we are very much build on following the will of the mass, and not evaluating out societys choises ourselfs.
still, i think that drugs in america should be legal, but treated somewhat like cigerets are. i personally think cigerets are a stupid addiction, as its expernsive, it wont alter your perception, and it will DEFINETLY kill you. but i respect the right of smokers to smoke, away from me, becuase I also believe in your rule of "do whatever you want provided it isnt harming your neighbor"
it seems like a good way to live. if only we could get us all on the same page. |
