Heh. I resemble that remark.

But in my case, when I die off in 10 years or so, we'll lose the vote that
I cast for marijuana and for giving recognition to Gay marriages.

  No, you don't. I was talking about a large group of people,
there are numerous exceptions to most any generalization, especially
this one. I try very hard to make sure my words reflect that I
appreciate the difference.

  I'm glad to hear it, but not surprised.

I take exception, I'm over 50 & just because people
want to get high, they think that we are holding them
back. Get high, get caught, do your time. Get over it.

  There is no logic to this argument. It does nothing
to do with the merits of our current law or the proposed
change. All you say is that it is illegal and if you want
to get high, you might get in trouble. Hardly a resounding
parry.

I'm giving myself 40 more years to vote to legalize these things. Until the
feds let the states alone with this, any 'legalizing' of such things just
leads to someone getting in trouble with the feds, instead of the local
police.

Oddly enough, last night marked the demise of the last 'dry town' on this
coast - Monmouth, Oregon voted to repeal their temperance law - at least for
beer and wine. You still can't by hard liquor there. One of the members
of the local temperance union said that they didn't get out and fight the
measure because too many members were in retirement centers or were dead.
The last time it came up for vote was in 1976, and it retained with 78% in
it's favor.
