Well...for those of us who came of age in the 60's (sorry, Dave, you're not included), the idea that, 40 years on, such a benign herb as marijuana would not only still be illegal, but causing more and more human pain and suffering through its prohibition, was unthinkable.

High, everyone. I'm just climbing aboard here. Don't want to rock the boat, but somebody gimme an oar. P.S. It's Sat. 11/25/2006 2:25 PM not Wed, 12/31/1969 - 8:00pm why, that would make me "6".

A very good editorial by David Borden, as usual. The militarization of virtually all US police forces is not good. I remember a friend of mine from youth, who always wanted to be a soldier--like his eventual father-in-law, he dreamt of the military. Then, he could not qualify for the military because of some weird heart thing. He is still alive today, but the military would not accept him.
