Leprechaun--I lost track of this thread for a while. You don't need to be telling me anything about the drugs you think I buy, you cog in a in a fantasy perpetual-motion machine. I haven't bought an illicit substance of any sort in more than 20 years, not since I was seventeen, and you can take your assumptions about that and do something or other with them. I suppose I probably know people who do, and they are people you don't get to insult with your moral bullshit withouy my speaking up. You're wrong, that's all. And it hits a nerve with me when it is a giggling joke that our elected officials have done this and that, but other people are in jail for those things or less. It's wrong, it empowers criminals on the one hand, and stupid prejudices, racism, and every other sort of bias and bigotry in the enforcement of law on the other. It's quite out of hand.

I respect that you have a very difficult job, but think your reasoning is short-sighted, maybe based on having to deal with things as they are. But it's a losing battle. It should change, and it will, I'm quite sure. But having been stupid so long, people are slow and resistant to suddenly being smarter, because they have to confront what a stupid waste of time, effort, and human potential it's all been.
