You've asserted it. The unbalance is yours, your goals require the destruction of the constitution. . .

You're telling Diogenes that he's not the conservative he thinks he is, and that conservatives require the "destruction of the constitution", and you then still claim to be in balance?

Do you know what "balance" is?

I certainly am in balance with respect to what is and is not conservative. I know the goal of using government power to control recreational pharmaceuticals as such laws as the Harrison and Volstead act embody are a new thing, constitutionally. They conserve nothing of it, although the Volstead act at least recognized an amendment was required for it to be legal. Diogenes says he is a conserative, he isn't. You aren't.

You're radical crusaders hell bent on destroying the constitution to save us from a threat to society that doesn't exist.

"Do you know what "balance" is?"

Balance is that everyone is free to swing their fist up until it inevitably connects with someone's nose. Prior restraint--prohibition--is reasonable only when that connection is a certainty.

That certainty does not exist with drugs, most of the users of which will lead productive lives regardless of what they consume.

For example, even rats can resist cocaine.

You are holding the whole country hostage to the bogeyman you've invented.

You're balanced?

Nope.

And yes, you're ruled by your fear, and content to rule the rest of us by the same.

A fear of shadows.

You must be another druggie. You sound psycho. Have you told your doctor about the "recreational" drugs you use or do you keep him in the dark? Someone should be monitoring you when you make these kinds of crazy statements.
