One of the 'facts of life' most surprising, and discouraging to many of us is that 'we turn into our parents'.
It also may be one of the most encouraging facts, as it USUALLY happens after we acquire more wisdom, experience, or common sense than we had when too young to truly appreciate our parents.
Too bad the 'pot law' didn't include allowing only one 'cure' for any problem created by using the stuff, whether on insurance, or at government expense. Then, MAYBE there would be some tax 'gain' from making it legal.
However, what tax has ever had a real gain for the taxing government? They always seem to spent all of it, and more!!!!
