13. Heh! "127%" reminds me of the biologist who studied feral hog birthing mortality rates...

"They have a litter averaging 6.5 young, of which 8 are expected to survive."

I followed the debates over marijuana legalization for nearly 30 years, and have belonged to activist groups for some two decades. Much of the dynamic for grinding out studies from "foundations, centers, and institutes" to support continued prohibition is replaced by the gun controllers, quite often with MSM compliance (i.e., no questions, no attempt at getting alternate views, which were certainly available). And as with gun control, MSM was -- and largely remains -- pro-WOD as a matter of "public health." I think the public health concerns are a ruse for culture war. Notably, for all the wailing and concerning in editorial pages, MSM still sees the two issues as "hot button," an expression that diminishes the issue, giving it a colorful jokester image. They can't have it both ways.
