- ssmike, no bill can address reform without addressing a public option, unless you think that after all these years the private healthcare industry is going to reform itself. Republicans killed that chance with all the "death panel", Health rationing" BS.

- Interesting philosophical question. Should we prohibit even the most dangerous, self-destructive activities?

- Absolutely. Legalization doesn't mean total deregulation. Just like alcohol.

- Washington democrats are like the criminals in the book "The gang that couldn't shoot straight". Republicans handed them the presidency and Congress on a silver platter and they still managed to make a political mess of it.

- I'd stop short of decriminalizing all drugs, heroin as one example because I don't think it can be used responsibly, but you're basically right.

- It's about rationalizing the penal code. One analogy to current crack sentences is having a $20k fine for parking too far from the curb. It's not rational.

- It's also a great political tool for politicians to show each other who's "toughest" on crime. It's the politics of fear. And sadly, it sells.

- It's interesting that many drugs are legal, including tabacoo, alchohol, caffiene, and a lot of over-the-counter drugs, but yet there are laws that will put some one in prison for smoking a joint in his backyard.

Yes, I think the republican party would nominate Watts. As for Carter he is just senile and someone should keep him quite.

I find your comments very insightful and thought provoking. Not the typical non thinking and non informed comments by most.

Always a pleasure to read your posts.

Regarding your comment about Kennedy garnering votes due to his religous background, i.e Catholicism, I'm sure you're right. Still, the RMC--of which I am not a member--represents an entire structure of beliefs and expectations that are quantifiable in ways that race isn't. I think the point is that many African Americans would have voted for any black, based on skin color alone. It's understandable in may ways, but it's still wrong headed.
