Jim, I hate to say it, but you stand as a fine example of why society should not be allowed to make these personal decisions for it's members. What you stand vehemently opposed to, many have had absolutely no trouble with. If it didn't work for you and your buds, that's truy a shame. It sounds like you had some hard times over it. To project that into, and justify control over others' lives based upon that, is not reasonable. There should really be no laws on how I treat myself, or what I put into my body.

We all have different ideas on what is acceptable in this realm. Some of us apparently like to use the power of law to dictate our standards on that to others; it simply never works. There can be laws that dictate how we treat each other; those are necessary for any society to function. Any laws that dictates aspects of my behavior that do not affect you are basically flawed and virtually unnenforcable.
