HOLES IN A POT ARGUMENT

After reading the article denigrating the legalization of marijuana as
"simplistic and unrealistic" by way of a masterful utilitarian
argument, I've realized that many American freedoms are actually a
drain on society.

For instance, how can we continue to allow the scourge of unregulated
parenting, a clear threat to the quality of forthcoming
generations?

Job choice is another ridiculous freedom; isn't it clear that
individuals may make poor career choices that don't further society's progress?

Upon serious consideration, the individual liberty for which America
has come to stand doesn't pass the "giggle test."
