Oh yeah, Bill's been the liberal voice of libertarianism for a long time now. In the 90's his show was called Politically Incorrect. They actually took him off the air during a witch hunt period a while back...
Real Time is funny, and because it is on HBO, he can curse and say shit that pushes people's buttons. Most of the HBO lineup is actually quite good.
The fact that he went beyond his weekly pro-marijuana diatribe, and was talking about psychedelics, made me sit up and raise an eyebrow. In the context of giving it to kids no less. I don't advocate dosing your neighbor's kids... but I get his sentiment that giving them wellbutrin, paxil, and rilalin is probably worse.
I fantatsized about putting something lovely into the punch at an upcoming wedding party... but any way you dice it, deciding what is best for other people and taking the choice out of their hands is always a no go. (even when you know it would make them happier)
