"The nationalist does not go on the principle of simply ganging up with the strongest side. On the contrary, having picked his side, he persuades himself that it is the strongest, and is able to stick to his belief even when the facts are overwhelmingly against him. Nationalism is power-hunger tempered by self-deception. Every nationalist is capable of the most flagrant dishonesty, but he is also — since he is conscious of serving something bigger than himself — unshakeably certain of being in the right."

--George Orwell, Notes on Nationalism

I also like Orwell, Shahram.

There is a huge problem with applying that quote to me. My position regarding legalizing marijuana is the majority position held by most people in this country.

The majority of the population does not want marijuana legal. Maybe a lot think it is OK for medical marijuana purposes, but people do not want pot to be legalized. They do not want the government telling their children it is OK to be a stoner.

That Orwell quote is more appropriate for the people on your side of this debate.
