Do ya ever think that while people who were adults in the 50s/60s got whipsawed by accelerating trends and technology, we who grew during those years suffer from a nostalgia for things that never happened?
When I was a kid, all the science fiction writers had us colonizing Mars by now. And in college, we all figured that by the time we were middle-aged--and thus part of the ruling elite--marijuana would be legal and sold in stores. So here it is 2007 and not having any teen-age children, I have no means of procuring...
I think they forgot, like the MC4, that the state has something to say on the matter. At least it is non-violent protest. Harmless.
The best thing though is that their sponsoring LLC does not appear to be filed as a non-profit so they won't be offering any tax deductibility on the donations; nor receiving any non-profit political slush funds from any one of the myriad of organizations that think that they deserve special treatment. They did the right thing, even if only by accident.
