New Issues!
Georgy Russell has a few more issues on her website, and since I'm not up for doing any research, I'll just let the Georgy campaign do all the work for me.
Budget Defecit: Georgy puts forward a plan, finally. More taxes. Absolute genius. She has the economist vote. That's.... what... 53 votes? (By the way, check for a typo near the word 'deride')
Legalization of Marijuana: Georgy puts forward the "One more sin tax, one less crime to punish" angle, which is pretty well-played in this time of economic badness.
Alternatively, though: "Evidence shows marijuana is no more harmful or addictive than alcohol." Well, evidence shows a lot of things. Evidence also shows that marijuana is more harmful and more addictive than alcohol. It also shows that fat is good for you. And is bad for you. It's not like alcohol's all that friendly, either. Do we really want to change our abbreviations? DUI would have to become DUSKI (Driving Under Some Kind of Influence). That's just too much to ask of our society. Also, no one likes smokers. Just think of all the no-pot-smoking laws we'd have to come up with. Marijuana legalization is a real headache, one that needs to be treated with marijuana. I'm hungry.
