So why didn't you support Pat Buchanan for president, the ONLY 
candidate to support even a partial legalization of marijuana?  Speaking
of legalizing drugs, wouldn't it be a good tactic to demand the absolute
legalization of ALL drugs?  The compromise eventually to follow would be 
a vast improvement over the status quo.

I'm voting Libertarian, and thinking of registering as such, even though
I can't stand their capitalist economics, they stand by allowing people
to organize and speak out against the very ideals that allowed them to
do such.  Our government is so corrupt, swinging a figurative axe against
it could very well lead to improvement.
