Why Young People Think Their Elders Are Idiots ... And Why Young People Are Correct


No, not the lame bigotry toward gays -- the other thing.

Did the pizza guy forget your house or is this more general crankiness?

Whether one is a drug warrior is a sturdy (although fallible) indicator of whether one is a jerk.

Tolerating the imprisonment of citizens for using marijuana is not only the province of people who dislike freedom, but also a demonstrably failed, counterproductive, and immoral policy.

People who claim to be supporters of liberty and limited government while bashing gays and railing against doobies are pathetic (in other words, social conservatives).

I read that as "railing against BOOBIES". Still works, either way.

I'm not disagreeing, but my parents can buy bourbon in their grocery store and I'd rather have that.

You'd rather be able to purchase bourbon from a grocer than stop the incarceration of doobie-sellers and cocaine users (with the attendant violence, Fourth Amendment abuses, shattered lives, disrespect for law, etc.)?

Guess you must really need that drink!

I just never miss a chance to complain about the PLCB.

Infinonymous said...

No quarrel with that sentiment.

Apparently, people in Uniontown don't like my oregano.

Infinonymous said...

Nothing illustrates the absurdity of our nation's War on Drugs better than a prosecution for purchasing oregano with misdemeanorous intent.

Law enforcement personnel who wince while doing their duty with respect to drug offenses deserve sympathy and a better set of laws to enforce; those who get a kick out of it deserve contempt, a new career, and a weekly speeding ticket.
