The use of marijuana or any other recreational or medicinal
drug that people feel they want should be legal for adults
_without_ the need to pay off a government-certified doctor.
Me and my pharmacist could figure it out just fine most of

Why should the government make _any_ rules about what is 
a marriage?  If we must have any government, why shouldn't 
it treat everyone as _individuals_ and let each of us decide 
for ourselves what sort of living arrangements we want?
