But it WAS illegal for him to do at the time. "Soon" doesn't make a bit of difference in this case. That's like arguing that people shouldn't have gone to jail during prohibition for making and selling alcohol. You may not have agreed with the law, but if you break it you go to jail.

On that issue I agree with you to a point. If someone has drugs for "personal use" and they aren't hurting anyone, I don't think they should be arrested. There are plenty of violent criminals out there who need to be in prison, and clearing out the low level drug offenders would be a great place to start.

Why should I go to jail if I decide I want to go shoot up heroin to feel good, but ultimately damage my health?

What you want to happen and reality are two different things. Even if it were totally legalized, I have a feeling that bringing half a ton of it into the country would still carry charges.

Really? Smuggling half a ton of illegal drugs should carry no jail time?

Since you missed it.

I hope someone checked on those poor people who crashed their airplane in the woods.

You aren't buying this if you have dreams of racing a Camry from stoplight to stoplight. This is a gorgeous, great sounding, piece of history that is on my bucket list to own.

Aww shucks. You are too sweet :) I'm going to go back to patrolling the Internet for typos. My work here is done.

Well it's fixed now, isn't it?

Where is "Luthuania"?

Ok. Glad we cleared that up. How is the weather there? It's hot here.

My sarcasm was an attempt to indicate that Time is out of touch with reality on this (and quite a few other) issues. I hope this cleared it up for you. I'll try to be more direct next time to avoid confusion.

Well if Time Magazine said it...

Ok. Then we can agree on that. However, if I have to drive around in a 100 HP econobox, I'm driving it off the nearest bridge (assuming I can make it up the incline).

All hail the new arbiter of how much horsepower everyone needs. I'll stick with the horsepower and just not drive like an asshat.

I agree that some of the keys people carry are ridiculous. I have about 7 keys on my fob, but I don't have to take it out of my pocket. If I had to sling it around everywhere and put it in the ignition switch, I wouldn't even have that many.

I bet all those people killed in GM products with defective ignition switches wish they'd had push to start.

I bet you are super fun.

I'm glad these guys are on our side.
