Was Dr. Martin Luther King evil? Rosa Parks? Should they have meekly obeyed the law until the government gave them permission to be free of it's own volition? Was it wrong of them to protest in a manner that was against the law?

I especially like those cigarettes, they really blow my mind. Best high i've ever had. Sure as hell better than meth and heroin. We can't dink and drive. I sure hope we can bong and drive.
GRANNY.
(Im a smoker). but they are more harmful than cocaine, and more addictive than heroin. And they're legal?
Oh that's right if the government banned them they have to start taxing shoes heavily to cover the deficit, everyone wears shoes right?

Originally posted by MexicoNah. You missed my point. He was comparing cigs with harder drugs, as if they had the same effect. What i,m saying is, like alcohol and cigs., if they legalize harder drugs the gov't will just impose laws where and when you can use them. There are strict laws in many American cities that restrict smoking or drinking. I don't want the same thing happening with hard drugs when i become an a druggie. I want to be able to hit that bong anytime and anywhere i want to or why get started in the first place. I am all for legalizing all forms of drugs, it's that stinkin' gov't control i'm against. Tax shoes? I'll go barefoot! I could go on , but i've run out of gin & tonic.

The post that was quoted here has been removedYou're right about alcohol that's why i only brought up cigs. The point is, i don't want the gov't telling me when and where i can smoke, drink, or do drugs. I want to bong when i want to bong! It's bad enough they're going to tax it, and use the money to fight some war who knows where, can't they just leave me alone?
Granny.
