A John Galt sighting in Argentina

As I mentioned in a previous blog, the move by different governments to decriminalize marijuana possession seems to be picking up steam. Another neighbor south of the border has wisely decided to recognize that people own their own bodies:

Argentina legalizes personal marijuana possession

Argentina’s Supreme Court on Tuesday decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use, tossing out tough provincial drug laws whose penalties it deemed unconstitutional. The high court ruling protects “the privacy of adults who are responsible for their own conduct,” according to a court statement.

It said the constitution protected “the private actions of individuals who in no way offend order or public morality, or harm a third party, who answer to God free from a judge’s authority.”

My question is: If this idea really catches fire and spreads around the globe, how is the Bush family going to make a living?
