The general arguement for making any drug legal is cost.

As long as government control of the product is strictly regulated for proper medical use, I don't see a problem. Well, there's always the potential for abuse, but it'll still probably cost taxpaxers less.

Sticks gives a groan, squeezes his eyes tighter before opening them, and slowly sits up. He eyeballs a tired, blood-spattered Hock. "You look like I feel, chummer." Sticks does a quick pat-check to see if all his essential body parts are still there. Satisfied, he uses his staff to steady ...

I was indeed referring to inflation, which I think more likely if an increase in minimum wage occurs. And if inflation does occur, than the increased amount of money available to workers of minimum-wage jobs may not increase their actual buying power (i.e. if prices go up too, then the worker is no ...

I disagree, an increase in Mimimum Wage is a bad idea. Certainly, you most likely cannot live off minimum wage (it's possible, but highly unlikely and basically hand-to-mouth, week-to-week living). But most minimum wage jobs are for people who don't need to live off it. Frankly, and this is possibly...

I find nothing wrong with being a hypocrite and a Christian. That said, I think the Bible and the culture of my religion is such that homosexuality most definately is a sin, but one more between the sinner and God (the whole gay bishop issue aside).

Okay, two questions for Jetplane and 3278:

1) How did Nash and Deke end up with the gang?

2) How do Nash and Deke feel about Sticks as leader? Since the former has male authority issues and the latter appears to be sort of a loner (and slightly more amoral than the rest of the gang).
