Huh...., and here I thought that being a Democrat was an evolutionary dead end ;)

What has this to do with debate it? There's even a normal position.

A Democrat is simply someone who has loyalty to the brand of his or her party: specifically, the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, that isn't particularly constructive, and no more constructive than being a "Republican". It's more important to consider what kind of vision of life you have, and to work towards that end, regardless of party affiliation. And, in the case of a representative holding and fighting for a similar vision of life, you vote for that person. As political animals, we argue and struggle over these visions of life - and they ought to be argued and struggled over, but you should never conflate that struggle with the facade of being Democratic or Republican.

Hmm, becoming a democrat will let you find true love?

Better spread the news around, it'll bring in hordes of new supporters :)

Whenever I smoke weed, I can sometimes get vary paranoid about the wealthy elite and never making it in life, as well as thinking that all of my minority friends (including myself) are under-privileged and unable to make it in life, so we need a system to depend on.

When I sober up, I become rational, free of paranoia, and thank God that I'm not normally that stupid.

On the other hand, weed doesn't always do that to me. Only if I let the paranoia get to me. As well, I think that morals and values become important and see myself as an immoral, dangerous intellectual who holds nothing dear to him. So it works on both sides of the spectrum.
