One more thing that fogs over and seriously impairs thinking and judgment is legalized, and people consider it cause for big celebration. There has been heavy, and I mean heavy, media coverage with people right in front of the TV cameras breaking the rule about smoking marijuana in public. With people blatantly and openly breaking that rule, what makes these highly educated makers of the rules think people are actually going to follow the rest of them? Perhaps they've smoked too much of it themselves. Where do you think this politically correct, liberal fantasy land - where no guns means no crime, and where there's no pollution or hatred - came from? I don't know why people are so infatuated with fogging their minds out of reality. Their problems are not going to disappear in a cloud of smoke; they're just making more problems for themselves and for the rest of us who still live in reality.
