Funny I thought you would say "gayer."

I would probably blame the public failure of the Drug War.

Unfortunatly, in Argentina, many people talk about legislation of Marijuana. I say I am against it, I agree with the drug policy of the arabian countries. Its a shame to me listening younger people than me talking about it. I rather allow the duels of gentelmen, you know, sword and pistols, its a healthier "legislation".

You know what? In my country, those on favor of "legislation" of Marijuana, "oh what a coincidence!" smoke marijuana, ALL of them... rolleyes Pretty coincidence, isn´t it?


You lost me when you praised governments who have no qualms chopping your head off or jailing your ass for naming a teddy bear after a religious prophet.

Yet the President decided just recently not to get involved in Colorado. I assume because he read the polling data and realized if he did continue his anti-Pot work (derided by Rolling Stone magazine as worse than Dubya on that front), he very well alienate a good segment of voters that the party will need in '14/'16, and which Republicans could champion as a good issue against the Democrats.

That's my guess.
