Do you have a card? (Doctor's note.)

the federal law has not changed and the US government still refuses to let states enforce their own laws, despite the fact that many states only joined the USA with the Bill of Rights and other measures meant to ensure that they wouldn't lose their freedom, yet that has happened. Marijuana can be legalized in any state, like CA, and still have any user medical or not, arrested, at whim, by the federal government. we are not free! be thankful the federal government isn't currently interested in ending your extended state freedom (natural rights we all deserve), but that BY NO MEANS is any comparison to the true freedom found in the Netherlands. The Netherlands has practiced free thought for a long time, yet it's the USA who tries to gloat about democracy, and we are less free! Canada is another example of government representing the people with even a slight bit of respect for the law, unlike the USA, where blatant disrespect for its own laws (like State) and unacceptable corruption are commonplace. The people have spoken and our aristocracy doesn't care.

Less and less so, however

A few days after the World Trade Center (sic) attacks, some gang in Toronto took revenge by vandalising a Hindu temple.

And now the Progressive Conservative party (our right-most party, currently in power) is in the USA's pocket, most notably with Hollywood-friendly copyright regulations and transit rent-a-cops tasering bus passengers for failing to cough up two bucks. [1]

Thankfully, the Progressive Conservative minority government is facing heavy pressure from an opposing coalition in parliament. Hopefully we/they can get back to granola eating, bicycle riding and tea drinking soon. The previous government (Liberal -- center-left) came this --><-- close to legalising marijuana, and they and the NDP (far-left) are the ones teaming up to form the opposition coalition.

Marijuana legalisation is actually a big deal in Canada, because the public is aware that it frees up police resources and also opens the way for taxation of commercially-sold herb. Also, the fact that we own British Columbia certainly helps ;) [2]

Soon enough, we may become as civilised as a bunch of pre-historic Chinese cowboys.

As far as the Centum issue, I agree that an early separation makes the most sense, although this is based mostly on my gut feeling alone.

I've asked co-workers and local friends (I live in China) about the Yuezhi but they either a) don't know what I'm talking about, or b) they don't believe that a foreigner would know such a minutious detail of Chinese history, and consequently think that naturally I must be talking about something else that I happen to be mis-pronouncing. The fact that the Yuezhi have six recognised and somewhat-conflicting names (in addition to some likely colloqiuial names either in Mandarin slang, Uyghur, or Mandarin pseudo-transliteration from Uyghur) certainly doesn't help.

But I'll keep trying. I'm sure I can dig something up eventually. Don't hold your breath, though.

Indeed. He was even keen enough to spell "dude" with 7 u's.
