I really like Radley, but I have to disagree (somewhat) with this part:
Where large numbers of Americans have historically made bad decisions, those decisions tend to have been influenced by government. The dramatic, 30-year rise in fatherless babies among the poor, for example, corresponded with a social welfare system that inadvertently incentivized single motherhood.
I don't believe the social welfare system is responsible for that as much as our rising prison population over the same time. Government doesn't make people irresponsible just as it can't make them responsible.
Dr.Tom's Medical Marijuana Blog
Med MJ blog by an MD; it's focused mainly on the surprising implications of what he's learned
(and the government doesn't know) about pot use.
It's based on a study of those hoping to be designated as "medical"
in accordance with California's much misunderstood law.
