Brilliant! Some good communism right there. I look forward to Michele and Ben telling us how bad this is for the consumer. @AgeofGrace @Tychicus

Biden is against legalizing Marijuana. I have little opinion. I don’t care if there is a fine. Just no jail.

I am for legalizing it even though I find marijuana to be totally disgusting. It stinks and most of the people I know who use it have led wasted lives (literally and figuratively). I just see the total failure of prohibition and don’t feel we should waste even one more cent on it. I also like the idea of destroying organized crime by legalizing it. Still, in the incredibly unlikely event that anyone asks me if they should do marijuana, my answer is, “god, no, don’t throw your life away”.

EDITED TO ADD: We legalized it in Canada a few years ago and it HAS had a negative effect. People openly smoke it outdoors and it stinks. And they stink. God they are disgusting. That said, the positive effects listed above outweigh the negative so my opinion is unchanged.

She’s through. 53–47. My guess is two of those 53 only voted in favor because their vote meant nothing. Romney was the other one and he just votes however he wants.

I don’t care about Britney and, as far as I can tell, nobody else in the world does these days either. Fame is unkind to women as they age.

That house is not beautiful. Are you connected with it somehow?

I’m not. I would have thought the land alone was more than that. It needs to be demolished.

The land for $559k is cheap for Mass. I would think. Someone will tear it down and build their dream house. It is all just a matter of perspective. When I was younger, a building lot cost $200k and a Kia cost $15k. $40k/year was a good salary. That’s really no different from a building lot costing $600k and a Kia costing $45k and $120k/year being a good salary.

Seems Roe v. Wade is about to be repealed. The USA is going to look very different in a decade or two under this new Trump stacked court.
