Ah, here is the darkly paternalistic heart of your argument. Your fellow citizens are (unlike yourself) woolly-minded...naive...have poor impulse control...are not to be trusted to decide these matters on their own. And who shall decide on their behalf? Why, you, of course! Why you and not me? Because you have never despoiled the temple of your body with forbidden alkaloids and your intellect is unclouded, whereas I and my set have all condemned ourselves with that "youthful experimentation" to be your social policy bitches {emphasis added)


This is the essence of fascism, after all, is it not?

Nice piece of distilling (pun intended!)
