Our own government has already "opted out of the tenet that binds everyone to the laws made by our representatives."

Otterley quote below is very instructive:

>The consumption of alcohol was once forbidden by the Constitution; thank goodness that's no longer proscribed

Have you ever stopped to think about WHY no amendment was needed to ban intra-state produced drugs as done in the controlled substance act even though it was needed to ban intra-state alcohol by federal government? How it could possibly be interstate commerce for the government to control merely where you store non-commercial use goods in your own state a la gun-free school zone act?

The government has long since dropped the charade of following the constitution; they themselves have "opted out of democracy."

But if you follow this thread, most of it is him/her just trying to out me as an anarchist (something I've freely admitted anyway) as some sort of ad-hominem way of disproving my point of the absurdity of the definition provided of unfairness, under which scientific research would clearly be excluded from those acting fairly. It's the political version of suggesting I'm wrong because I'm gay.
