I am trying to abide by your rules.  But, it is very difficult not
to respond to Jane's political and prohibition oriented posts as they
are based upon a distorted view relying upon falsehoods and
half-truths.  Such posts demand opposition just to clear the air
and to let anyone who might be influenced by her know that her
political agenda is pernicious to personal freedom and responsibility,
and to provide an evaluation of the issues she raises based upon
credible facts and critical reason.
