100% legalization.

>Easy enough to paste his own criticisms back at him as soon as he does. Unless he really is an anarchist.

Constitutional Libertarian is the best way to describe him. I identify with him because we line up pretty well politically with the basis of our philosophies being that we tend to come down on the side of liberty and personal responsibility in most. That and the show is entertaining as all hell from childish humor to serious political discussion with a daily dose of pop culture and the absurd.

>As for these platitudes:
>>> True freedom demands complete faith in the individual and the ability to be repulsed by their choices. True freedom dictates a hands-off policy that allows people to fail and be disgusting. True freedom means living, and letting live.

>What about traffic lights? What about shouting "fire" in a crowded theater? Lets see some real life policies so we can call him a hypocrite- because those are the parameters he has established for his targets.

I've mentioned this before, traffic lights fall into the priviledge realm. Namely, driving is a priviledge not a right thus one submits voluntarily to the laws of the road in order to participate. It's similar to receipt examination at Costco v. Best Buy. At Costco you voluntarily submit to the rules when you sign up for membership and one of those rules is to show your receipt before leaving the store. At Best Buy that is not the case and you are under no obligation to show your receipt regardless of how pushy the door clerk.

As for "fire" in a crowded theatre, that's unconstitutional. From the 1st : "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech".

>Behold the way of the armchair critic: their "contribution" is to tear down others without proposing anything to replace it. IOW "whining" to use a popular descriptive term often issued by ACCs against the target de jour.

The show has run 5 hours a day, 5 days a week for over a decade. His "proposals" have been aired.
