An initiative in Massachusetts to decriminalize the possession of an ounce of marijuana has stirred up some hypocritical public posturing on the issue.Funny, how they get a power fix, and yesterday's liberal-minded become today's blue-nosed puritan fascists.
Tell me being able to wield the coercive might of the state isn't the most mind-altering high of all--and the most dangerous and deadly. Very few users can take a hit off that blunt and not pick it up again and again, sucking in even more every time...

State addicts fear and hate those who choose less harmful "highs". State addiction has killed millions more than any chemical addiction ever could.
That's because democracy is a gateway drug. Some folks just can't handle it. One small dose and the next thing you know they're having hallucinations of "participatory democracy"; their minds floating in a utopian euphoria where the world is saved by people "participating" in the lives of others. The appearance of consensus is a necessity, even if it is only implied by the repetition of phrases by those trained to speak them.
When the arm of civilization is bruised with the needle tracks of democracy, they can always administer the same substance in a different manner--maybe they can call it "sociocracy", or something to that effect. It doesn't matter, it's still social engineering.
