Do you disagree that authoritarian fascist-leaning righties LOVE drug prohibition? As well as many other invasions of personal freedom? It's not LEFTIES that keep the drug prohibition going long past any sense or reason. You, like Bill, are so far right, the middle seems left, as you think of yourselves as "centrist"!.

"You know there's a big difference between being a republican and being a libertarian." ROTFL - You are giving Chris way too much credit. The leftwingers don't even know they are leftwingers. Because they instantly put anyone near the center of the political perspective on ignore along with anyone generally right of center, they only consider the opinions of other extremists. Rightwingers seem to generally understand when they are out of the mainstream. (But as usual, you err on the side of consideration and politeness.)
