Is it time for America to legalize drugs?

Alcohol and cigarettes kill far more people than all of the illegal drugs combined, but they're legal.

Also, thanks to the war on drugs, we have the largest prison population in the world. There are only 10 million prisoners in the whole world, but 2 million of them are here in America (4% of the world's population but 20% of the world's prisoners) We lock up more people than China, North Korea, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Iran combined - and most of our prisoners are locked up because they got caught selling drugs.

Why not do the smart thing - legalize drugs, restrict their sale to people over age 21 and tax and license the drug dealers? In other words, why not treat drugs the same way we treat liquor and tobacco?

I am the matron of honor in a wedding, and the bride wants to have both a shower and a jack and jill. I think its tacky to have both, it should be one or the other.. People are not going to want to have to give cash or gifts at a shower, and jack and jill and wedding too.. does anyone know the proper ettiqute for this?

Saying that Bush should clean up his mess before leaving office seems to hide her fear that Irak is too tough a situation for her to handle. Those are her words not mine.

As a former Catholic I don't remember ever hearing discussions about people like: St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Bernard of Clairvaux or Hildegard Von Bingen. It wasn't until I got into college that I started to learn about this crowd. I wish I had been introduced to their writings earlier.

Going to the Dr and....?
I am headed off to the GYN's office Tuesday morning. We have been trying to conceive a second child. We have only been trying for about 7-8 months. How ever I have endometriosis and in June-July they told me I was no longer ovulating. I found out about 2 weeks ago it is due to HIGH prolactin levels.

I need to know what questions I should ask the Dr about. Do you have any?

I know I will be put on a medication to induce ovulation (which at the same time this drug lowers my prolactin levels) it is called parlodel.

He throws a lot a day, My husband finally realized that my job at home isn't all laid back. My son has toys and he wants them in the living room, but my daughter needs to crawl. I tell him I am putting them in his room and he freaks out and throws a tantrums, he wants a cookie I say no, he throws a tantrum, he wants to watch t.v. I say no, he throws a tantrum. All day every day. I put him in time out and have been doing so for 1 year, he just turned two. Time out is not working. He'll throw a tantrum at the mall, at the bank, everywhere and hardly listens. What should I do? It's been hard to try to potty train him. I ask him nice and he tells me no, and I make it exicting and he'll throw a tantrum. what to do? I don't show my frustration.

I noticed that all four bridges are barricated and there is no way to get across, at least not one that I have found. In other words, I want to get off South Beach and see downtown Miami and the airport. Help!

It seems to me that Jesus was pretty specific about this. How can a major Christian leader justify advocating the assassination of Hugo Chavez just because he says nasty things about us? How do Christians justify trying to retaliate for 9/11?

my lil bro has xbox 360 and his friend has a ps3. My lil bro recently hooked up his xbox live so that he can play with other people, and his friend goes online with his ps3. My question is can they play against each other, even though they have different systems? If so how can we set it up?

I was treated for a intestinal infection on Sunday (food poisoning) I came in and my blood pressure was 95/68 and my heart rate was 108 or something like that. Kind of low so they gave me 3 liters of fluid because of dehydration. After that they tested me. (I had been resting the whole time) my blood pressure was still around 95 (It got up too 101) and my heart rate went to 115. (It was as how as 120) They were concerned because they said my heart rate should of gone down, and wanted me to see a doctor today (Which I will be) they wanted me to get more fluids but that seems too be alot of fluids. Plus I am 7 weeks pregnant

They seemed concerned but still let me go. Has this happened to anyone or has anyone experienced this? Should I be worried the doctor is going to say something is wrong with me?
