    Zero tolerance was the populace (through their legislators) countering the leniency of the judges. It's not the solution, but it was an attempt to solve a real problem.

    Having stupid, lazy people isn't the problem. It's the government supporting stupid, lazy people that's the problem.

    Inconsequential technicality to the discussion. Lincoln still was the driving force in getting it passed in the house and therefore sent to the states for ratification.

    It didn't 'pass' until approved by the States. Before that it was just a proposed Amendment.

    I'm not a Southerner.

    I believe that the Constitution as written, without interpretation is a better world.

    Thanks for the advice, but the issue isn't so much my sinuses as the walking pneumonia I suspect is filling my lungs (never had pink phlegm before...)

    I'm productive now, I'm just unpleasant to be around.

    actually, one of my favorite TV movies from my childhood was "Where the Lilies Bloom." They immerse this guy in a tub full of cooked up onions. Cured his bronchitis. it was TV

    you need that tea-throat coat. brace yourself there's anise(black licorice) init-but it's viscous and cuts down on the irritation. microwave a wet washcloth in a baggie or saranwrap and lay it over your face and breath in. also get mucinex-the knock off. take 1200 mg of that every 8 hours. you'll still cough but it will be productive. finally, give into the old fashioned vicks on the chest.

    I don't know they can be productive. There's a fair amount of critical thinking involved and it's a great way to train people in quick reaction/fine motor skills. Have you read overman warrior's "Symposium of Justice?" There is a vignette int he story about an expert video game player/developer who is picked to lead an elite group of planes developed by this scientist professor to lead the "revolution" you can see where I'm going with this...

    I'd be in a better mood if I could breathe without spending five minutes coughing.

    And my bigotry is particularly advanced today. Until 2 years ago I believed in the "nobility" of the "common man". But having had to associate with the Halfred P Doolittles who haunt Walmart has soured me on the species.

    doing marijuana is not a "minor vice". In the first place, it's a violation of the law (not that we worry about that in modern America). In the second place, it messes with your mind. Have a cup of coffee for Chrissake and grow up.

    So, those GM factory workers who were drinking beer and doing pot on their breaks were the most productive employees in the auto industry, eh? Just blowing those Japanese and German car makers away....

    I smell bullshit.

    Most people do not have a choice about sleeping, either. I know I'd never sleep, given a choice. I resent like hell losing 1/3 of my life to it.

    But, everyone has a choice about being a pink-eyed scumbag.

    yeah, it's called "sleep".
    I noticed you picked up on the "productive" and not the "reason" part of it.

    Do you feel the need to escape your reason, khalling?
    Alternatives to productivity: errands, exercise, video games, card/board games, movies, romance (or, if your name is Galt, spell "romance" as "stalking"), bathing, cooking, sports....

    This country currently suffers from too many stupid, lazy people (just look at how other countries are catching up to us). Guess what, legalizing pot is going to generate even more stupid, lazy people (just wait, time will tell).
    It has been shown that pot makes (some) people stupid and lazy. If you doubt this, consider a good friend of mine who got caught, twice, trying to walk onto his Marine Corps base with a joint behind his ear.
    I agree that it's probably no worse than alcohol, but did we really need to legalize another vice? Look at how much money is being thrown at casinos and lotteries (the gambling vice) before you try to answer that one.
