Legalize Weed in Minnesota!

The Colorado Experiment in legalizing marijuana is almost two years old. What has been the fallout from it?  Did anarchy loom over the state?

No, all the dire predictions did not happen. Denver did not go to the dogs. Still the same old Rockies and Broncos. Colorado still brews Coors beer. The snow will be there for skiing. It will reliably vote Democratic, though not as predictable as Minnesota.

Here's an article about Colorado two years later:

So my point now is, maybe the Minnesota legislature should consider legalizing marijuana too.

For one, it would cut down the inmate population at Stillwater.

Maybe pass a law prohibiting driving a car or snowmobile while under the influence of weed.

It's high time!

Income Tax Day

Tomorrow is the last day for filing income taxes without penalty.  I think that good citizens should be proud to support their government that gives them so much.  And they should regard it as like tithing for churches.  We have too much individualism being held up as an ideal. Why not a little more collectivism?  No man is an island, although some hidebound conservatives would like to pretend that they are.

Irish and Norwegians

IRISH AND NORWEGIANS

March 17th commemorates St. Patrick's great and noble deed in driving the Norwegians out of Ireland.

It seems that centuries ago many Norwegians came to Ireland to escape the bitterness of the Norwegian winter. Ireland was having a famine at the time and food was scarce.
          
The Norwegians were eating almost all of the fish caught in the ocean, leaving the Irish with nothing but potatoes.
          
St. Patrick, taking matters into onto his own hands, like most Irishman, decided all the Norwegians had to go. Secretly he organized the IRATION (Irish Republican Army to Rid Ireland of Norwegians). Irish members of the IRATION sabotaged all the power plants in hopes the fish in Norwegian refrigerators would spoil, forcing the Norwegians to a cooler climate where their fish would keep. The fish spoiled all right, but the Norwegians, as everyone knows to this day, thrive on spoiled fish.


Faced with failure, the Irishmen sneaked into the Norwegian fish storage caves in the dead of the night and sprinkled the rotten fish with lye, hoping to poison the Norwegian intruders, but as everybody knows, this is how lutefisk was introduced to the Norwegians, and how they thrived on the lye soaked smelly fish.
          
Matters became even worse for the Irish when the Norwegians started taking over the Irish potato crop to make lefse. Poor St. Patrick was at his wits end.


Finally, on March 17, he blew his top and told the Norwegians to "go to hell" -- and it worked, because all the Norwegians left Ireland and went to Minnesota.
