PTL on the first and last ones. For the others: good job sticking to economic issues guys. We have a good point on Medical Marijuana, but general drug-use freedom is a political loser. We, who have doper loved-ones don't know how to straighten them out without the help of tough treatment via the authorities, though, if the lesser drugs had lesser penalties we might be more willing to call them into play. Remember the lesson of the $50 penalty for killing "Chinemen": people - yes, white people - wouldn't turn their friends and loved ones in when the penalty was death, and the bastards got away scot-free with murder. When the penalty was placed at merely 2 months wages for the average cowboy, decent citizens were enlisted to stop the killing. The death penalty didn't work, a fifty dollar fine did. Evil-doers were deterred and lives were saved.
An enforceable law is one that goes along with human nature - including our weaknesses.
