Just heard a guy on news radio, mayor of Breckenridge, Co. being interviewed about marijuana decriminalization. He said a town of "well educated, affluent people should be able to decide that marijuana was less harmful than alcohol...blah, one ounce, blah, 21, blah, normal stuff." What struck me was his use of 'wealthy, well educated' (as opposed to stupid poor people, by implication). And it is often the wealthy and well educated that abuse cocaine. Heck Madoff was wealthy and well educated so maybe we should legalize ponzi schemes.
