No way Amigo.. The huge egos and self-centered laziness is to blame. Everybody wants what another has but is unwilling to put forth personal to gain it.

California probably does lead the way though.doh

Interesting to note - NY knows what's important to it's people and has slammed additional tax on it ;

"New York, for instance, has raised taxes on tobacco, wine and limo services." laugh

Interestingly, Arnie's proposed legalization and taxation of Maryjane would presumably eliminate the need for tax increases (might even pave the way for tax decreases), but you oppose that, don't you, JV? hmmm

You mean Arnie's proposing the people should legally be able to drive under the influence of Marijuana? (Just as it's legal to drive under the influence of alcohol, which is legal?)

And what morality are you talking about? The morality of telling people what they can do with their own bodies? Is that the precious principle you're seeking to defend?

I went through the 'Pot" stage myself in life.........
At one point - it's time for people to grow-up and move beyond being a stoner...........
I have had enough problems with employees being stoned on the job and thinking they are entitled to do so........

But that figure includes Tahoe's sales tax, right? Is CA's base sales tax really that high, now??

Ambrose2007: That and gambling. God forbid someone should get the crazy notion of legalizing gambling and taxing it. Next thing you know, states themselves might get into that business...

I don't want to see education cute either....... but that system needs alot of trimming and restructuring as well - lots of administrative fat and not much left over for the kids ...
