	<description>This is about taxation.  This is about the federal deficit. This is about out of control politicians.  I have a solution that is out of the box, take a deep breath here we go...</description>

		<description>Whenever I see someone write seriously about legalizing MJ, they never use anything new or very constructive. It&#039;s usually the same old arguments; alcohol is legal why not MY, it&#039;s just a narcotic and we seem to be able to handle that legalized controlled substance ok, etc. But, they never address the destructiveness of MJ or compare it to the rest of the culture that surrounds narcotic use, whether legally controlled or otherwise.

This present suggestion addresses one of the few, if not the only seemingly constructive reasons for legalizing marijuana; the realized monetary windfall in the form of jobs and taxes.

&quot;Duuuuude! I used to be a bartender, now I&#039;m grass pusher. Ain&#039;t it great?&quot;

Is this what we want our society to lean towards?

The same arguments can be attributed to murder, pornography and extortion. True, we already have extortion in the form of the DNC who does what they can to keep the entitled up to their knit stockings in welfare and food stamps in exchange for the perceived power they wield. And, legalized pornography exists in the form of what passes for entertainment in the darker venues of print and video. But, unless you ascribe to the twisted, America-hating view that War is legalized murder, that one hasn&#039;t been made legal yet.

The constraining influence of what made America great is what basically holds back the weak minded who persist to entrench our society in legalized, flesh-pleasing habits.

Want more sex? Don&#039;t be loyal to a wife such that she feels secure enough to give you her body, just go out and get a new wife, or just rent a female.

Enjoy that &quot;buzz&quot; experience from substances? Just buy more beer, or get some really hard stuff and score a baggy of something potent from that other part of town.

According to Stewart Burch, if it&#039;s taxable, then our elected officials are missing an opportunity.

This is classic for a marijuana user who also is an accountant. Fits right in. It&#039;s almost a Far Side joke if it wasn&#039;t so pathetic.

One wonders if someone like Stewart Burch ever had any moral training at all. What happened to his childhood? Did he ever pay attention in Sunday School?

Most likely, like most of his ilk, by the time he reached the elevated moral position that substance abuse is a good thing, true morals founded in something substantial and larger than &quot;self&quot; have already been weighed and dismissed.</description>
