Should drugs be legal? Prostitution? DWI if nobody gets hurt?
Drugs...I assume you mean illegal street drugs? No they should not be legal unless the medical community and the community at large comes together in support of legalizing something that is currently prohibited.
Prostitution....Street prostitution no. Brothel that is voted in and inspected by a local government I am ok with.
DWI...no. However I am not for requiring all automakers to install a breathalyzer to determine if the car should start or not.

I wouldn't support this either, yet I could see certain factions arguing (with some credibility) for exactly this. I guess that's where the substance of the argument lies, the tightrope between responsibility and complete freedom. I guess I fall on the side of a little more responsibility than you do.

I have real problems with mandated health insurance. It just seems like a reach for power.
Fundamentally this whole law bothers me because it perpetuates a funding system that is doomed to fail. Health insurance linked to employers was designed as a work around wage and price controls. If we are going to continue insurance as a financing mechanism it should be on an individual basis and have uniform regulation across state lines. The whole concept of Insurance - pooled risks - works better with a large pool. Current laws and regulations limit the definition of what constitues an insurable group. That needs to change.
