“When a constitution was drafted for a free and virtuous people, and we try to make it work for a dissolute and wasted people, this will have the effect of declaring war on the few remaining citizens who want to live in a virtuous way.”

“Our bodies want sleep, air, sunshine, sex, water, meat, and so on. These desires are God-given, but because the world has been knocked cock-eyed by sin, they can become inordinate. Now, who among us was doing so well with all these bodily demands, the ones that came with the hardware already installed, that we thought to upload a few more dependencies just to show how good we are at the self-discipline? Oh, you know, Smith was doing so well with hunger, thirst, and lust that he decided to add nicotine and alcohol”

“What is the meaning of liberty? In order to make any progress at all when it comes to understanding the use of marijuana, we have to know what freedom is. We also have to discuss it, and work through it carefully, with very sober minds. That means we should debate the question of pot without having smoked any”
