"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Let's not get too excited. This is a small step in the right direction. A VERY small step. What the government of Uruguay is NOT saying is, "It's none of our business what you put into your own body, or where you get it, as long as you've done so peacefully." No, they're saying, "We're graciously allowing you to smoke pot, as long as you pay all the prescribed tributes to your rulers." Fuck them!
