Or better yet, as a friend of mine suggested, replace the current tangle of

Doug, did we go to school together? I've been saying this since
college.

Not as far as I know :-). I picked that up from a guy I used to carpool to
work with. His name's Randy Wahl. Great guy. Into doing Civil War
reenactments. Maybe you went to college with him?

FWIW, in about 1998 I met a man who was the head of the DEA's Columbia River
Valley Drug Task Force, in Wenatchee WA. Fascinating fellow, full of amazing
stories. I mentioned this idea to him, and after he stopped laughing, he said
"I love it! My agents would sure have to spend a lot less time in court!"

Possession of small quanitities for personal use would be effectively
decriminalized. And narcotics dealers would receive an instantaneous death
sentence. Either way, society wins.

Yup.
