Where's the debate?

I'm surprised by how little debate the "My Stand" meme seems to have generated. Perhaps we've all formed ourselves into self-reinforcing cliques and no longer need to dispute one another's opinions. Perhaps we're so into moral relativism that it doesn't matter what anyone else believes. I can't help thinking that it's a shame, though.

I've been enjoying a debate with jfs over the subject of drug legalisation. It's fascinating to me, because it reflects the debate I have internally on the subject, between the views I held at 20 and the ones I hold now. The difference, of course, is that John is a far more experienced and intelligent gentleman than my 20-year old self was, so it moves my own debate to a new level. And that's a good thing, right?

"He's the idealistic, humane alien, isn't he?"

Now this sounds promising...
