Thoughts of a Flying Sheep

If you see something you don't like, or hear a radio show that offends you, simply don't listen to it anymore. Feel free to voice your opinion to your friends and neighbors.

But don't go destroying other people's television sets or stereo systems.

People who want to listen to trash have a right to hear trash. There's no use in trying to prevent the trash suppliers from making trash available. Let these people decide for themselves what they want to see and hear.

How about drugs, then? I mean, if you substitute the word "heroin" for "trash" in the above statement, it's still true, right?

Wrong. On the one hand, if people who consumed/used/took drugs did so quietly in their own homes, that would be fine. It wouldn't affect me. But people who commit crimes and violate the rights of other people as a result of taking drugs do affect me. Therein lies the difference.
