1. Quick response to being attacked at last night's debate ...

3. As a prosecutor and Attorney General, her job was not making laws but enforcing them.

2. Nice of her to catch up with what has been called for by others long ago.

4. I wish Harris and Democrats here, in NM, would go the extra mile...

Legalizing recreational marijuana would create new companies, jobs and taxes to build the economy. By the way, Yang appeared to be nothing short of a genius, during the debate; but I don't think he has a chance of winning the Democratic nomination.

5. I don't and never have used the stuff but would like to see

it legalized (and taxed) for those who choose to do so. We need not only the revenue, but also the cost savings from this nonsensical war on drugs that has been going on for way too many decades.

As for Yang..... Never say Never.
