I like to think of it as picking and choosing what I want government/society to do e.g. I really want government/society to tax the rich more and use the money for free pre schools for every kid in the country whose parents want to send them there. That will do more to reduce crime, increase productivity and make for a better society, than anything I can think of. << Locking people up for drug crime is just more big government. I consistently hate big government. You, OTOH, hate the things that don't agree with your own comfort zone. You love big government, except when it interferes with your ability to smoke dope. This is what you call "hypocrisy" and while it happens in all political persuasions, some are particularly suited for it.
