It actually makes sense

That state has scandals and corruption that in fact rivals the stupidity of Indian politics. Jindal is a no-nonsense guy with ideals (which a lot of Indian adults do share) that are very common in the South. Limbaugh was calling for him to be the VP candidate, and I have no doubt he will run for President if he keeps up the good work in Louisiana. Exactly the type of guy those crusty Republicans have been trying to get since…...um Lincoln?

Madison and A2

are probably the two premier college towns in the midwest, I don’t think you could go wrong with either.

One thing I”ll say about UM thought is that their undergrad degree has become way over-rated, the latest Princeton review “academic rating” reflects this, the 86 awarded UM is quite lower than a few of the private LA schools in the state.

I just wrote that last part to piss off Colin. It’s a good school, but I’d contend the grad programs are way better than the undergrad. Seriously, I hooked up with a communications major before UM/WU in 2003, she wasn’t that smart. Her main commuication was non-sylabbic.

Have you seen the Indian Thriller?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbvP7dT3Dx0

Different part of the country, but still follows the general concept of how all Indian movies are somehow ripped off from American cinema, yet they are 2 hours longer and contain 4-6 song/dance acts.

where team A is the first place team, and team B is the second place team.

Probably because he never stops talking

Everyone loves to destroy Hawk and DJ, but Brenly never shuts the fuck up, and I don’t see how Len Kaspar is that great either, his banality is hard to endure for 9 innings. Hawk may be ugly and hate-filled, but at least you can remember his calls.

actually, this brings up something i was wondering about

who exactly is anti-pot de-criminalization these days? seriously, i want to see the studies and whatnot. pretty much everyone i can think of, at the very most, wastes no thought on the matter and could give two shits about pot.

I've heard

California has a measure that will appear on the November ballot that will allow liquor stores to sell it. Basically placing limits on the amount a person can buy at a time which is fine by me.

CA, at least wherever participating boutiques can be found, has de facto legalized at this point

de jure only in the medical sense.

absolutely

and i’m sure there will be some state gov’t that figures out the revenue to be had will be enough to outweigh the backlash. michigan would actually be an outstanding candidate, considering they are in dire need of state revenue and, to my knowledge, have a wide user base.

I personally don't see the appeal

I’ve tried it, liked it, but never had that urge to just plop down on the couch, smoke, go to McDonalds and eat like 5 double cheesburgers.

Legalizing it would at least make a shitload of money for the government. It’s like the stance on cigs nowadays. We all know you can die from it, but please buy as much as possible and fund our highway projects.

It's a drug, like anything else, it affects people differently

I was a kid that couldn’t get enough from 17-23, the last couple years I’ve kinda chilled. Buy it to have it, smoke once or twice a week, make a bag last a month or so.

I think there are plenty of people like me who would welcome decriminaliziion. Shit, I often drink a 6 back after getting home from my solidly white collar IT job, I can unequivically say that is much worse than if I just smoked a joint when I got home.

Older people

I really expect to see herb decriminalized nationally in 20 years at the most. Most likely sooner. But first we have to see some more states decrim it on the national level. I haven’t heard of any on my friends in Rockford or Chicago get a possession charge in years, but its decriminalized in Chicago. Hell, I’d say a good portion of 40 to 50 year olds support decriminlization

Anyways I haven’t smoked in a few months but I puffed for the first time 8/1/98 (at a Phish show none the less).
