(The Libertarian Republic). Should everyone aged 18 and over in America be allowed to purchase marijuana?
Yes. Incarceration has been an ineffective deterrent, and the benefit of enforcing victimless crimes rarely justifies the cost. People have the freedom to do all sorts of stupid, self-destructive things.

(The Libertarian Republic). If the Supreme Court strikes down the ‪#‎NSA‬'s domestic spy programs as unconstitutional, should Edward ‪#‎Snowden‬ receive a pardon?
No. He violated his contract, and he stole more than domestic spy program data. I do believe the revelation of domestic spying was consistent with the people's need to know.
