Alright, so marihuana, guns, online video games, porn and model train sets apparently all have the same influence on the human mind now. And if anything causes you any harm, it's your own fault for being so dumb. AND THAT'S WHAT FREEDOM IS ALL ABOUT.

Oh I know what this calls for, when the fighting starts, go smoke some weed and chill out. Could say that about the prisoners, let them smoke all they want. Let them chill out, they won't complain about the food, they'll all get the munchies, get fat, won't do shit. Tax payers will bitch because the food budget suddenly sky rockets in the prisons . No one wins. :(

You don't have to be a total Personal Responsibility Neo-Con to believe in this stuff. Even the most ardent socialist can surely think of way to deal with whatever harms arise without outlawing the whole practice.

Actually, if you really want to be technical, use of the term "neo"con is entirely inappropriate and shouldn't be taken offense to by most on the right - since most rightwingers don't in fact fit into the rather narrow confines of the neocon movement, or even know what it means, in light of the ridiculous mish-mash of half-baked philosophies which now make up the republican/conservative "movement."

The Neoconservative movement was a backlash by liberals against what was seen as liberalism going to far in the late 60's. They are somewhat comfortable with a welfare state but saw the Great Society of LBJ as going too far, and were specifically put off by the anti-war stance of the Democratic party in light of the McGovern Campaign. As famously stated by neocon standard bearer Irving Kristol: "A Neoconservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality."

But the key is, a true "Neocon" is much, much further to the left on these particular social issues, and would likely be seen as socialist by the more extreme paleo conservatives of a Goldwater bent. So the hyperbole for which Muzman is looking would probably be better served if he used another term besides Neocon.

Just FYI.

Though I believe, dethtoll, that what he's saying is exactly the opposite - taking responsibility for ones actions as a philosophy is not limited to only extreme right wing philosophies. So there's really no need for you to take umbrage.
