Although my dislike for the drug would probably wane if it were ever made legal, but I still wouldn't do it. Drinking is illegal, but I hate alcohol. That can't be because I let someone tell me to hate it, though.

And I have lived on the streets living my own life. For almost 3 years, I walked up and down Buford Hwy and Peachtree Street and every road in between. I wondered what the next day would bring and what, or if, I was going to eat. I wondered if I would ever get myself out of my doldrums nd start taking care of my responsibilities.

Trust me, a blue collar neighborhood (which I don't live in by the way) is a much better life than that.

And I'm not fairly intelligent. I'm greatly intelligent, lolol. Later, QD.
So funny we came from other ends of the spectrum. As far as morality goes, you are correct. That is why I am asking you questions, I'm curious as to how you form your opinion. Morality isn't some static fact, it is defined differently by every single human being (just like beauty or good taste). I don't believe in laws or government.....not because I like or welcome violence or anything else that's destructive to society, but because I firmly believe that law and order contradict our very existance.

I grew up fairly poor, but had a decent house and was able to go to the best local highschool where I grew up. So I suppose I had it better than a lot of people do, but it wasn't much. After graduating highschool, I made a decent life for myself....and it worked, for a while. But this whole blue collar neighborhood and lifestyle isn't for me, and it never was. I've only been broke twice in my life, and both times were some of the most liberating experiences I've had in my life.
