    The push is to make one drug legal. And we saw how well complete prohibition of alcohol worked last time!

    I don't see any widespread advocacy for the legalization of drugs other than mar1juana. And the legalization of that drug as had a good amount of support for years and we're just now seeing a couple states legalize it for non-medicinal use.

    So no, I don't see heroin or cocaine being legalized in our lifetime, if ever. Just like mar1juana isn't a gateway drug, it won't be a gateway for other drugs to be legalized.

    He told the cop he didn't know how he hit the 18 wheeler. Is super-ignorance a legal strategy?

    True, but could the cop have asked how did the accident happen before making him do anything or determining if he should be arrested?
