Hmmm, where have I heard this proposal before?

The reason I used the word Prohibition is because I think it's bullshit either way. We're sitting here legalizing pot because Prohibition doesn't work, but somehow doing this chickenshit year-by-year outlawing is somehow going to fix something that education is doing a fine enough job. People are going to smoke cigarettes, there's always a group that will do it, legal or not. Whether you want a crime problem around it or not is the obvious question these chucklefucks don't seem to understand, despite repeated examples to the contrary.

Add in the danger of having the following mentality: "what are these rights laying around that I'm not utilizing? What, that person over there enjoys having these rights? Well, I don't like that person, so I don't care about their rights fuck em"

This ladies and gentlemen, is how you Nazi 101 (but with rainbow flags and affirmative action this go-around)
