What a wonderful world we live in. Too bad we have to share it with such morons.

Thanks to Ontario Court Justice Douglas Phillips, who last Thursday ruled that it is no longer against the law for a 16-year-old boy to carry around a small amount of pot.

The court could have ruled with the wisdom of Solomon, possibly rendering a suspended sentence. Instead, it went with the obliviousness of Simple Simon and tossed the entire law into the trash.

May 2003 renew our hope that we might eventually find ourselves living in a brighter place with brighter people.
