I believe GP was referring to the worship of Jesus, a specific jew who in the christian mythos lives in "heaven above" aka outer space. Nothing about this implies anything negative about Jews or the Jewish faith, can you point out the antisemitism? I guess maybe the value judgement that belief in Jesus as a divine being is "stupid", but that's a pretty common belief amongst the non-religious and hardly restricted to Semitic faiths

Bad form to reply to one's self but I wanted to further elaborate with a specific example.

If a majority of the people in California decide that they want the option to purchase and smoke marijuana (which recent polls have indicated is in fact the case), and the majority of Californians are willing to accept all of the consequences listed above, what right does anyone living outside of California have to tell them no?

Now should the other states (aka the federal government) be able to withhold assistance to the state of California? Absolutely. And that's something that very well should happen - "No more Medicaid or Medicare for any California citizens if your state legalizes marijuana" would just be one more bullet item on the list of consequences that would need to be factored in. But Drugs are not an evil that is on-par with slavery, and as such it's ridiculous for the Federal government to force their will on any state regarding that matter.

Clearly the correct answer then is to allow the local governments to choose for themselves whether or not they want to allow drugs to be legal in their locality. Since, you know, they're the ones whose police forces will have to deal with all this stuff.

Oh right, that war was already fought and lost.

Because there doesn't exist such a thing as a false flag operation and a tyrannical dictator who is attacking his own citizens would never stoop so low as to engage in them when it comes to protesting foreign intervention?
