First of all I agree with you completely on the politicians but I think the medical marijuana voting results are closer to reality though than the "Do you support legalization?" polls. Its just like religion. The polls show a number a lot different than the number of cars in the chruch parking lots. But I do agree that politicians are spineless and all about reelection and not about freedom or at a minimum looking for additional tax revenue when states are laying off workers left and right. Hmmm... a huge additional source of revenue to spend on "jobs" or print a bunch of money to spend on pork project that does nothing but put as more in debt?
