>12. Drugs, illegal and otherwise
All for blanket legalization, and then regulation. For example, weed should be legal everywhere for those of an age to buy tobacco. Whereas I think you should have a license to use smack or meth, and you'd have to buy it at the Post Office, which has perfected the art of driving customers away.
>13. Politics today vs. in the past
Same old same old. Richard Hofstadter anatomized Glenn Beck's paranoia 50 years ago. Americans care more about minute issues of social status (and overreaction to perceived rising or falling in status) than they do about creating a viable society. But I get my own utopian kicks from John Rawls's Theory of Justice, so feel free to disregard me, I suck cocks.
