VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul decried the “war on drugs” Thursday night, telling supporters in Washington state that people should be able to make their own decisions on such matters.
Voters in Washington are likely to decide this year whether to legalize the recreational use of marijuana
“If we are allowed to deal with our eternity and all that we believe in spiritually, and if we’re allowed to read any book that we want under freedom of speech, why is it we can’t put into our body whatever we want?” Paul told more than 1,000 people at a rally in Vancouver, a suburb of Portland, Ore.

Why? Because there are so many -- SO MANY!!-- self righteous people who think they know how everyone else should live and behave, from "protecting us" from not wearing seat belts to "conforming" to their ideas of the proper way of living. Of course they don't want anyone telling THEM how to live Congress is a great example, among many others, but the saddest part is that there are millions of assenting and somnolent citizens that NEED to be told how to live and willingly accept it all....which is exactly what they, "the leaders", are counting on....
