I wasnt making any claims, nor was I saying anything retarted, you must have misinnterpreted what I was trying to say.
Personally, I am against the whole liberal vs conservative thing, and dont really associate myself with either. I however think that to distinguish between is important, such as implying that one this is necessarily more liberal than the other. My statement about legalizing pot was referring to the fact that it is a "liberal thing to ban some for of substances", when in reality, typically the liberals ahve been trying to DE-criminalize certain things. I mean liberal can be tied with more "liberties" right? and conservative means to conserve past ideals of government right? I wasnt saying anything "retarted" as you might state. but I think it's typically a cause and effect sort of thing. I would assume excuse my stereotype, that it wasnt the governor trying to ban it, but it was the lobbyists who were facing heat from the parents that had their kids getting getting WAY to fucked up. That or the police were trying to make their jobs easier by banning something rather than Informing them more appropriately about the substance they are taking. such as the national compaign for abstinence (a conservative compaign as I'd assume from religious foundation).... Thats working great.
I mean instead of bashing what I am saying, and trying to tell me I am being retarted, it would have been much more mature to just tell me that it was being pushed by a liberal governor for national ban, and why you think it is a liberal thing to do.
As far as Liberals vs democrats. although they are not mutually exclusive, republicans tend to be conservative, such as liberals democrats. so the demographics is what I was basing my statement on.
