Sane words ... and all of them correct
... I think all democratic nations have reached the point where the public debate has run its course. The ones totally opposed to legalization will not change their minds; and the ones in favour are equally adamnant. And the ones who don't give a flying-you-know-what ... I'm in this group
... will go on merrily flauting or obeying unenforceable laws as they see fit. And, to be honest, I do think that governments, particularly in the US and Europe, have much more important things to occupy themselves with. And the poor sods in Central and South America will continue to suffer until the yanks, who actually control this debate, decide to do the right thing. Wasn't it Churchill who said: "You can always count on the Americans do the right thing once they've tried everything else"? Or something along those lines.
