They tell me I can't smoke pot? I don't care who you are, you have no constitutional right to barge in on my constitutional rights. Why won't they just leave me be?

Mark D, you obviously enjoy having the government rule over you. We're supposed to rule over IT. I give a rats *** what its powers are, I will die fighting it.

I don't smoke pot but I believe in your right to do whatever you want in your own hard earned home. Oh by the way you know they can take it from you any number of ways so in actuality its there home if they see fit to use imminent domain or seize it for drug issues or if they declare you a terrorist and ship you off to a secret prison...Anyways let freedom ring!!!

Go for it Smoke a joint sit back and relax, smile, eat something, giggle a lot. That way I know your not selling it to my kids. Then you can enjoy your evening and I wont have to go to prison. If you want to sit around with a stupid grin on your face go ahead. Just don't sell it, Grow it, or hang around folks that do dangerous drugs,Stay out of your car with it or when your using, as if you come thru my town I might throw you in jail. And I really don't care what you think are your rights. I won't care if you cry, scream, yell, and threaten me. Because it's my right not to give a crap about another dimwitted pothead. And If I have the right to do anything I want, in my hard earned home,why don't you drop by someday?

Because you might not stay at home. You could go for a drive and crash your car into a minivan and kill 3 kids. You could become irrational and start shooting guns at your neighbors. Now I am not saying that you can or will do these things, but there are others out there just like you that might.
Cops are not fortune tellers. They can't guess who will turn violent or dangerous. All they can do is try to protect society from itself. The law is in place to protect everybody. If you don't like it, move somewhere else.

I don't care who you are, either, dude. You cannot define your own constitutional rights. Government doesn't have "rights," government has POWERS and if you think you are going to define your own rights by yourself and defy the government then the government will demonstrate its POWER to do to you anything at all that it wants. My only concern is that, whatever the government does do to you, it must do with DUE PROCESS OF LAW, which is the one, most important constitutional right.
{edit} I would rather live under a government than live in anarchy and I'd rather live in a democratic-republic than in a monarchy or an oligarchy. And I believe that the thing which has gotten "out of hand" is for so many people to adopt an "anarcho-libertarian" philosophy and argue as if they have a right to defy even our democratic-republican government. And to adopt a philosophy of "I'll define my own personal, individual rights without anyone else's help, thankyourverymuch."
Here are a few of my "best answers" which explain my philosophy.

a pothead revolution would be a thing to behold...
anyway, it is rediculous that the gov. interferes in your personal life, when you are doing no harm to anyone, but in truth, thats how induvidal politicians maintain their power, but finding issues, like "The War on Drugs" or the abortion debate, and vow to "solve" them for their constituents. seems like the human appitite for control is pretty insatiable.
In truth though, the pothead angle isn't the best one from which to fight for greater freedom and liberty.
