Yeah I know I just wrote about this yesterday, but interesting things are happening right now in california.
Here is an ad released across the state, except on some stations that are refusing to play it.
It's my opinion that keeping marijuana illegal does nothing to help society at large. Instead our current policies play directly into the hands of drug cartels, big pharmaceutical companies, police departments who justify funding through arrest rates, and a vast prison system that validates its existence largely through the unjust incarceration of millions of harmless smokers. We are the children of a generation that smoked. Many of our parents still smoke, whether or not they want you to know about it. The last three U.S. presidents smoked. With the above-referenced population shift in full effect, now is the time to enact reform... before the baby boomers forget the joys of the loco weed.
Edit: Fox news video of the reasons not to legalize marijuana...

Things I learned this week
Too much red wine gives you the runs.
Creep is a love song.
Being graduated is a lot like not being graduated.
A math major from pitzer gets you 70k a year and a Maserati.
A math major from ASU gets you, well I'm not sure yet, but not that.
That Obama text message to legalize marijuana? Yeah, thats a fraud. The area code is new jersey, not dc, plus obama can't legalize marijuana, only congress can do that... if you are interested in legalizing marijuana, there are a couple things you can do. Write your congressman and ask him to consider changing the classification of marijuana from a schedule 1 drug. Schedule 1 means that the federal government considers marijuana to have no medicinal value and to be highly addicting. This is the same category as heroin. Doug Stanhope points out that all drugs should be legalized, with the obvious medicinal value of curing the horrible disease of boredom...
(thank you eric for showing me stanhope.)
Or you can email your state representative and ask him to lessen penalties against possession and dealing.
Here is Ed Ableser's email. He's our state representative if you live in tempe. Nice guy.
eableser@azleg.gov
And here is Harry Mitchell's shit... Harry used to teach at Tempe High and is also a pretty great dude.

So yeah.
Learned lots this week.
I also learned a bunch about the internet and the world wide web, but all i did for that was read their wikipedia entries, so if you're interested i guess you can just do that instead of me telling you about it. Very interesting though. I'll leave you with a picture of the internet:
