So I'm listening to the 11 o'clock news and they're telling me how the State of California is having a HUUGE Garage Sale this week, including 15 cars to be sold on ebay signed personally by Gov. Schwarzenegger, and they think the garage sale may raise a whole 1.5 million dollars for the revenue-strapped state, and then the news segues into Schwarzenegger has also set up a "feedback from citizens" site to collect suggestions from citizens about ways to improve the State, get better government, set priorities, etc. Then comes the kicker from Mr. Anchorman: the most popular suggestions on the site were (1) legalize and tax marijuana, and (2) decriminalize possession of all drugs, as was done this week in Mexico.
So I decided to give Schwarzenegger my own citizen suggestion: Yes, legalize and tax pot, like Oakland has already done. Wow! You can "vote" too. Go to:
