I don't *think* Barney --My Boy Lollipop-- Frank's as dumb as he appears, here. Just think of all that surplus WOD dough IF he got his way?
Who'd get their grubby li'l hands on said dough, first?
Who'd get the lion's share, eh?
With all those billions at stake, this w/could be a virtual feeding frenzy. Akin to a pack of starving savanna hyenas pouncing on an injured infant gazelle.
Given the past general election results?
I've often thought the first political party who came out for a reasonable decriminalization proposal, would be[come] the dominant political party in the USA for years to come.
Think "New Deal" and all that, only a convoluted 2009 version with; but, identical results.
Had hoped it'd have been a certain party, but knew it'd never happen. The other party OTOH knows a good crisis when they see one, aren't likely to let this one slip through their greasy fingers.
How fun will it be watching *this* play out, see just how much traction it gets?
