With the two major parties you can be neither or neither as both at the moment don't know how to be fiscally responsible or truly socially liberal.

Of course, I also stem from the Ayn Rand strain of libertarian objectivism that values individual over the communal mindset that has taken hold over our culture.

I can understand the ideas behind it, but I find it funny that libertarians can trust people out for money (corporations) to protect their liberties better than the people they elect (the government).

I am left wing enough I hate both parties but close enough to tell the difference and see the Republicans are worse and realistic enough to know being third party is useless.

Honestly, we are highly individualistic in comparison to the rest of the world. That's the main criticism of America. The huge amount of sueing and obesity and pain-in-the-assness all really comes from the idea of selfishness, which is merely the idea of valueing self over society.

That sounds like a decent idea but the problem at the moment is they don't treat it as a misdemeanour. Of course, most of these drugs problems do come from late 19th Century/ early 20th Century politics and propaganda.

Ever want to watch a funny film about drugs...see the film Reefer Madness. Gah, I just think of that film and it cracks me up.

Seen part of it, I watched the beginning and just got bored of it honestly. I can't tolerate black and white well, too boring to me

Of course now it isn't a misdemeanor, it also isn't legal now... I don't see what your point with saying that is...
