Hey I understand. Really! and you can pick on me all you like. Just don't expect me to fall over and agree with you.

They dont stop because we sneak around doing things instead of out in the open with no apologies.
You have completely misinterpreted my stance on legalization. See my answers in the previous post for clarification.

oh... and you have way too much confidence in authority. Just my opinion.

Have you noticed that you keep apologizing for the government?

"It's inevitable that things will always escalate?" "There is always going to be someone with a gun in their hand telling me what to do?" You have a pretty grim view of the future! Maybe you should take some of your own advice: "When you start assuming the future of the game, well your losing the idea of what free will is and its importance with the people."

Those things may be true in your reality but my reality looks quite different. Personally I feel that the government as we know it today will be history within 20 years, possibly sooner. The future looks pretty bright as far as I'm concerned, but I also believe that the next few years are going to be one hairy ride so I hope you've got your seat belt on.

The way I see it "reacting" is not useful at all. "Responding" is a far more effective means of getting things done.

I have not assumed anything. I have simply stated my opinion and it is my free will to do so.
