Pat Condell lost me a bit during the "Ground Zero mosque" debate, but this one is pretty good:

So if you are a religious person and if you're thinking of demanding more respect for your beliefs, please try to bear in mind that you and your religion are already getting way more respect than you've ever deserved. Your faith is a joke. Your god is a joke. He's so absurd he's an embarrassment even to people who don't even believe in him, and you still have it all to prove. So far, no proof has been forthcoming, nor is it likely to be, as we all well know, so respect, i'm afraid, is out of the question. The best you could hope for is amused incredulity, and that would be on a good day.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
