Thoughtful response. I suppose I should clarify my original statement of “religious/moral fundamentalists” to “religious fundamentalists and moral absolutists”
Yes there are those that believe drugs and porn should be illegal because God said hedonism is bad
There are others that believe drugs and porn should be illegal because some people use them to ill effect and therefore we should all be forbidden from partaking
Those are the stances I take issue with and I find it interesting that there are so many of those people in the bitcoin community (Bitcoin being a morals-agnostic protocol the very existence of which runs against the grain of the “just legislate it!” impulse)
Anyway at the end of the day I’m more in your camp than those other folks…
