well that's the whole point. i can assure you that were california and colorado to legalise, and if they were left alone by the feds, the rest would come crashing down. the levels of control might be different like with alcohol, but before long, this idea of imprisoning people for the victimless crime of possessing or dealing in weed, would be a thing of the past.
...and portugal, and ireland, and spain, and italy, soon france, and britain......
And each country is different. Most are having problems because the Euro is having problems.
But let me set this straight, no one is advocating a European system in these United States. But there is an in between, its not an all or none situation. The problem that we have is that our politicians seem to be all, or none.
You won't vote for Ron Paul or the Libertarian candidate because rather than have services like medicare/aid, social security, obamacare etc delivered at the state level, you prefer to keep it all at the federal level.
For this you're prepared to accept indefinite detention, the federal war on drugs (with Obama now suggesting that employers carry out drug testing). you're prepared to accept the NDAA, Patriot Act, the Food bill, the continued war in Iraq (you might be fooled by the replacement of servicemen with mercenaries), Afghanistan, and the sabre rattling in Iran, North Korea. the exploding debt obviously doesn't bother you either. you probably agree with the president that the way to solve the debt crisis is by borrowing more. nor does it bother you that in an effort to end too big to fail, the banks are now bigger and more prone to fail.
all this because you're worried that the states can't take care of their seniors or their sick!
My, you've got one great sense of priority
Why is the question directed at Democrats? You would think Republicans have even more reasons to vote for Paul, but they are supporting a big government Romney instead.

Trust me, living in Ohio we have a bible belt as well. There is a push to try and get medical weed on the ballot, and they have necessary signatures to do so, however; I don't think it will pass the first time around. It took forever for Ohio to finally approve casinos. Sooner or later though people are going to have to wake up to lies which lead to it's prohibition.

Those days are long gone. The majority of Americans are against Marijuana Prohibition (60% last I saw) and the percentages get higher and higher as those indoctrined with the propaganda continue to pass on. Why Obama wishes to continue (and even increase spending) for the self-destrutive drug policies is beyond my comprehension.
You can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, But you can't fool all the people all the time.
You should really quote a country that you think the governance/programs closely resembles one that you support.
there aren't any. new zealand has done some encouraging things around farm subsidies and prostitution. portugal decriminalised drugs, all of them, as far as economic liberties go, every country is going in the wrong direction, and it's getting worse very quickly

i'll do one for republicans at a later stage. they annoy me too btw. constantly bleating on and on about limited govt. they then get a real limited govt candidate and they fall asleep. it's infuriating
