I heard that pot being schedule 1 was also about an excuse to get hemp
to not compete with cotton, it seems bizarre enough to be true...

The whole pot thing has been a fiasco. My nephew has a friend (not someone I know
directly, but a good friend my nephew went through at least part of college with) who was
carrying a small amount (nephew said a "lid", so whatever that is), and sold
all or part of it to a narc.
He got busted and went away for 8 years. That seemed pretty excessive in my
nephew's mind, and I agree with him excepting for the fact that all the
information I got was from my nephew, so it's at least 3rd hand.
That all said, it's pretty hard to find anyone who's dies from smoking weed,
and the one or two you may hear about is very anecdotal.
None-the-less it's been classified as a schedule 1 drug for as long as I can
remember (and that's longer than I care to admit).
Just a stupid waste of time, energy, people, legal system, and prison space.

No so Funny, in the 80s people were going to prison for life for
getting busted with some pot 3 times.
In the 70s when I was growing up in Oregon, pot was decriminalized.
"some people" grew it in their dorm rooms...
Now it is fully legalized in Oregon. I presume they let all those
lifers out of prison.
Pendulums swing back and forth. I hope that one has stopped.

Which also gave us the McNamara Military doctrine... You can have
the smartest guys from other industries, but we still need to depend
upon the guys in the field of battle to be the weighted input..
Otherwise I agree...

When I was an engineering undergrad, we had to take a certain number
of liberal arts electives, and I took a 100 level Poli Sci course.
This was at Northwestern, so even the professors teaching intro level
classes were pretty good.
This would be from about 1971 and I wasn't a poli sci major, so I
don't remember that much from the class. But I remember the prof
talking about decision making in the JFK White House. Take it with a
grain of salt because this was the administration that gave us Bay of
Pigs, but I think he kind of inherited that plan from Eisenhower,
still shame on him for going with it. (I liked both Ike and JFK, so
not casting any aspersions.)
But prof said JFK would gather all the smartest people and hear them
out. Then with a smaller group of people he would weigh the various
inputs and make a decision. I think the lesson we were being taught
was that ideas are best generated with a large group, and decisions
best made with a small group. Something about large groups can too
easily make risky decisions because responsibility was diffused.
Or you can just "go with your gut". My gut wants a cheeseburger.
Sorry, gut, you're getting a lowfat yoghurt. Which the label says has
sucralose in it. Back to the diet sweetener thread. But honestly
the Yoplait banana cream pie light yoghurt is pretty yummy.

I admire your optimism Lewis.
There have been times in the last four years when I thought he would
surprise us all, and grow into the job or manifest some semblance of
growing into the job. I've been disappointed every time.
So while I admire your optimism, I do not share it. I'm resigned to
the notion that he will muck it up somehow.

inauguration.

Maybe he could go back up the Trump Tower golden escalator.
I saw today that he has cited Sunset Boulevard as one of his
favorite films. Maybe it can be like the final scene of that
movie. I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille.
