You're right. It's nice to see a government actually risking their own future by doing something which may only benefit a small portion of the population, but will win the respect of the entire world (except for Red America, of course)
At the risk of defining my own families values, my Mom once remarked how she thought these people (her words) shouldn't be talking about things like this. "It's improper, and no one needs to know about it. They shouldn't be on television forcing me to see it".
I tried to emphasize that the only way to make changes is to make people aware of the problems. I even mentioned Womens' Suffrage, and the difficulties they had in getting their voices heard.
Of course, I don't think anything I said made a difference. My Mom almost had a coronary when she found out I had a nipple ring. Imagine if she found out I had a tatoo...
The way I see it, things like this are inevitable. It's the ability to recognize this simple fact and work towards the long term goal instead of trying to maintain a short term status quo that currently sets the liberals apart from the others.
Now if only they would recognize the potential of being the only source for hemp products (not pot) in NOrth and South America, and the money that is to be made from cloth and paper products with a renewable resource. Then I would be truly impressed.
