Reaping what you sow...

[Volnissniss]

I would say that the majority of the people who are for the continued abolition of recreational drugs in America fall into one of the following categories:
1. People who draw a paycheck from big tobacco.
2. Bible-beaters

I do not see either of these groups being swayed by the legalize and tax the hell out of it argument, on principle.

Of course, the latter group have been proven to be whores time and time again. See lottery, gambling, and sin tax legislation.

It sickens me that these people try to uphold themselves as the beacon of morality, yet they sell their principles off, over and over again.

I wouldn't be so judgmental of those folks. Things that used to be considered immoral are perfectly acceptable by today's social norms. For example, anything about women, from the length of our skirts to our constitutional rights, also, ordaining gays in some religions, I think it's more microevolution than someone selling their principles off.

Just b/c someone can take a step back and see a benefit to an opposing view does not mean they are abandoning their principles. And what suits a 17 yr old is not going to suit a 67 yr old. People change. So if you were once a conspiracy theorist and then turned conservative and then found yourself liking the dems again as an older person, I wouldn't call them a sell out so fast. People vote on what is currently affecting them, usually. All I'm saying is have a little compassion man!

I was thinking of the really "hip" and "suave" places where it would be that expensive, not that it's common.

I would have no business in those places what so ever, just curious

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure if I've been to the nicer Boston establishments or not..but I would say that you wouldn't find beer over $5 a bottle...maybe

New York could be another story..I have few data points in that regard.
