Oh, you know, by stating the obvious, I'd imagine.

There was once a case where a grandmother was driving the kids to school and didn't see that the youngest had hid in the van because he didn't want to go and remained hidden because he didn't want to get in trouble. It's little things that disrupt the routine.

Ok. I'm going to use small words and easy concepts here. See if you can follow:

Exactly, it'll be a great day when it's a casual as drinking a beer or having a mixed drink. I mean sure, 15 year old kids will still get it and be all giddy and everything about it but that's essentially the same with alcohol and tobacco

When it stops being a crime, the significance will fade.

You sound like a delightful person.

People that smoke pot are the worst.

If only they legalized marijuana in North Carolina. All that infrastructure from tobacco would leave them ideally placed as a supply state.

I don't live in Denver proper, but I can tell you that my life and neighborhood have been affected all of 0% by CO's legalization laws, despite my tea party mother's dire predictions that it signaled the End of Days.

It is supremely refreshing to read about woman my age (almost to the year) who just says yeah, kids are great, nothing wrong with kids but I didn't want them and thank God I didn't get talked/talk myself into that monumental decision for shaky, vague "because" reasons.

Another super-fun one is, "Why don't you have a boyfriend?" And then if you say, "Because I don't want one," the person looks at you like, Yeah, right. You are probably crushed under the weight of loneliness and desperation. It's like, if you really don't believe anyone could possibly be happy being single and be…

And the funny thing is, this is pretty much the reaction I would have expected.

Right. You're not saying (maybe you think this, but you're not saying it and people seem to be reading it into your comment) that she shouldn't have been prosecuted or that she shouldn't go to jail.

Jesus everyone, I said it was intense. I am not here to argue what her punishment should be.

Still doesn't stop being sentenced to prison for LIFE from being intense. She did cause this to happen but it was HARDLY her intent in any way shape or fashion.

Life sentence? That is intense.

What a precious rosebud he is.
