Why There Is a Drug War
At Pajamas Media, I read:
More to the point, I don’t believe that grown men and women should be ashamed of the legal things they enjoy.Does this mean we can't criticize something until we pass a law against it?
This explains why many people think a Drug War is needed. If criticism of anything legal is read out of civil discourse, people will have to advocate bans simply in order to be heard.

I read the same post and had the same response - I dislike the conflation of law and morality.
Since when is legality an excuse for behavior? ("Sure, I banged prostitutes ... but it was in Nevada!").
Conversely, since when is illegality an argument against something? ("I would never criticize the Fuhrer - it's illegal!")
Normally conservatives writers are more sophisticated than that.
I was disappointed in the article.
