I guess I just don't see marijuana legalization as a civil rights issue. But, I do agree that the referendum is an important political tool. And I agree that it should never be used to decide extremely complex political/economic/societal issues.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
