The opposite of good is not evil

It's complacency. Case in point - our laws concerning pot. If these laws are good ones, why do most people refuse to debate, or even discuss them with me? And of those who are willing to engage me, why do they get their asses so severely kicked while I don't even break a sweat? It's simple. So simple, even my kids understand it. The drug laws are bad. Very bad. Do you have a taste for irony? Here you go - the people who are hurt the most by our drug laws are the non-toking taxpayer. Unfortunately, they're either too stupid regarding the facts, or they just don't care (they're stupid in general). Yes, I'm talking about you. The guy who hid his face in shame and guilt when I challenged you in the Peterborough Examiner to a debate. You all hid. Not a single one of you had the balls or the strength of character or personal integrity to support your law in public.

I wish my dad's generation was more responsible. And more accountable. They shouldn't have lied. Lying is wrong. Even lying to kids. Especially lying to kids. As adults and parents, they should have known that. And now I not only have to take care of them, I have to clean this mess they've made without them even offering to help.

Shameful. Now my brother-in-law, a cop and all-round good guy, has to risk his life defending your stupidity and total disregard for personal responsibility.

Never underestimate the stupidity of people in crowds, eh?

They didn't question authority. If they had, they would have found out that they were being lied to, and our idiotic laws regarding pot may not even exist right now.
