Didn't you already say this?  Repeating yourself: bad form #2.

Hmm. 

Well, I'll tell you, I am just in awe of your forthrightness.  I
really am so terribly impressed.  Yes, indeed, it takes an original
thinker to come up with these setiments.

So you're saying that the government should not outlaw anything which
does not directly violate the immediate rights of others? 

Ah, such a shallow and unrealistic philosophy.  It must be nice to be
unburdened by intellect when one has the belief that a book of handy
quotations will do  

Let's think about this.  

One day I get it into my head that I want to start up a biowarfare lab
in my garage.  Now, I'm not qualified to do this, but I'm sure with
enough financial incentive any number of open-minded third world
liberationists could be convinced to aid me in my hobby, such as it
is.  So together my friends and I begin culturing anthrax, and next
week we plan to start working on a delivery system (by lobbing
grenades into my back yard at a paddock of chickens).

I'm not violating anyone's rights.  Should I be allowed to do what I
want to do?

Well, I'll give you credit for at least admitting that the motive is
reckless boozing and not some high-minded moral issue.
