The first good news to come out of California in a long time

Intrade odds of California legalizing Marijuana soaring.  Maybe the people will finally end the reign of terror of our so called "War Against Drugs".  Our 'leaders', even Captain Doobie Obama are the vilest form of hypocrites and cowards on this issue.  With 800,000 Americans in jail and countless millions of others trapped in the 'legal' system it is far past time to grow up about soft drug use.

When I was social chairman of my fraternity my greatest fear at parties was that the boys had a stash of hard liquor because that meant fistfights, out of control driving down the campus sidewalks and a visit from the campus police.  The best news:  they had a big bag of weed because that meant that they would stay in and giggle at each other.  No violence, no cops.

I have never understood our drug laws.  And I know the people who enforce them know far less than me.
