POPSDefending Traditional Marriage While you're at it, don't let the rest of the heterosexuals marry, either. They just stomp all over the concept of marriage with their many affairs, divorces and painful child custody trials. Let the gay people have the marriages. So far, they've got a damn better track record for respecting marriage than the heteros do.

POPSReview of federal marijuana laws coming at last 45,000 people are in prison over pot in USA. Taxpayers spend >$1 billion per year to imprison them. Richardson appointment may signal new approach. House to take up reform bills. Surely more lives have been damaged by draconian pot laws than by pot itself.

POPSCato Institute Warns of Unjust Texas Sect Trial and Child Custody Seizure The Texas polygamist sect trial is dangerous precedent. This must-hear 9 minute Cato podcast warns about government exceeding its authority and the dangerous precedent of its unchecked powers (including CPS) where there is clearly a lack of evidence for the inflammatory claims. 400 children, most under 5, are being separated from their parents without any substantiation of claims of abuse, and the initial call was a fabrication from an impostor. This is an excellent presentation of the facts with sober analysis of a violation of government power and a very dangerous legal precedent is being established where the laws of evidence are being trampled. (How would you react if CPS or the government took your children based upon false accusations and distorted information?) Note also, as he states, that as of 2004, marriage was lawful in Texas down to 14 years of age, with parental consent. Click link
