And the sane majority is making no move to throw the bastards out. We seem to treat maliase like maynaise and slather it over everything.

Having said that, I am sure that our education system will soon greatly increase the first category<br /><br />(2) Susan, who mentioned pot, should get a bit more educated on the subject. I am talking about understanding why marijuana was made and is kept illegal, the social consequences of that, and the scientific facts about its properties. Marijuana has a very interesting history and if common sense prevails it may have a very interesting future.<br /><br />tonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669238942080921290.post-59215059643572103142010-02-23T08:47:00.756-08:002010-02-23T08:47:00.756-08:00Thanks for the Bernays history.
