Wow: are YOU talking to the wrong dude, dude. Lazarus Long himself would love to turn you into the DEA. If you're a "liberal." He's a Bush Winger. FYI. Of course, he doesn't have the guts to do such a thing, as an SI RWE wimp. You're completely right about the legalization of marijuana and I really like your comments about the BUSINESS VALUE in such tobacco-farming-dependent states of KY, VA, etc. laura_bush

I suggest you pay no attention to Bonehead. If she had brains, she'd take them out and play with them. What's the name of the FBI computer that supposedly monitors the web? Carnivore? Let's feed it some meat. The standard argument against legalization of drugs (I believe) is that people would kill themselves unwittingly with them. Too much cocaine, bye bye. Has anybody noticed how many lives are destroyed by current policies? All those guys sitting in prison cells at $30K-$60K a year? And that just starters. Drug turf wars? Rattattatat! And not just the drug dealers and users get killed in them. Innocents who just happen to be in the area get offed. And sometimes gang initiations consist of randomly picking someone on the street or in a car and shooting them. We're already paying a huge price. Did somebody actually claim to know WTF they were doing when they started this? It's also possible (although by no mans guaranteed) that if pot were legalized and other things left as they are, you might maybe get a significant drop in hard drug usage. And that would be a net gain from that alone. BTW, I advise totally ignoring Bonehead. She can rot your brain.
