Well, we are less than one week from voting again, and I have an ambivalent attitude toward most of the candidates. I do know that I will vote for Prop. 1, which will provide funding to the Utah Museum of Natural History. The family and I went there last weekend and saw how run-down the building is, and Stacy and I would like to see an upgrade for our children. I am not here to discuss my polictical view, but would like to bring up a topic that could be viewed quite differently in our kids' generation, depending how voting goes next week in California.
In California Prop. 19 has been introduce, which will legalize marijuana for the state. I was reading an article last night from Newsweek that discusses how more conservatives are jumping onboard its legalization. The article discusses a devote Catholic woman who was a strong opponent against legalization, until her son suffered a severe spinal injury, and marijuana was one of the only drugs that helped him function. Well, her son ultimately started a school in California, "Oaksterdam University", that is devoted to studying pot, and is now a millionaire. Anyhow, I just thought I would bring up the topic and find out people's opinions on the subject of legalization because I am curious to see what unfolds in our lifetime and be able to look back on this post and see if any thoughts come to fruition.

I say no way jose. Because more people will do it, if it legal and more issues will occur because people will be stoned.
I also say no! If it is legalized than you would see more of it in our schools. Plus, we don't need more people stoned out of their minds! I'm just sayin'!
