Yep where 9 states have legalized medical pot, and more than double that have de-criminalized it in general with more on the way on both counts.
Only one state allows gay civil unions, but still it exists in America. Though 36 states have outlawed gay marriage, the constitutional test of such a ban has yet to come, but it will.
We will grow beyond our homo-dicrimination and our pot-o-phobia just as we outgrew our racial discrimination and alcohol prohibition. I have no fear.

still bark up a storm, but thats nothing new. History does show they tend to lose here in the long run, whethers its prohibition, segregation, or establishment of a religion by the state, so I don't worry about it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Canada will show the uptight "rightys" just how wrong they are about the doomy fall of civilization if pot and gay marriage are ever legal. That makes smile. I feel lucky to be an American and to have Canada as my neighbor to the north as well.
