When I was 27, it was 1990, and things were looking good. The Berlin Wall had come down, the Soviet Union was breaking up, I had a decent job and had just bought a house. Then 2 years later, Clinton the First was "elected" king and everything (body) was effed again.
My "millenial" (20) says people his age only care about abortion (legal) and pot (legal) -- he doesn't speak politics to any of them, no point.
You know what, jukin, not killing babies is important enough that I am willing to trade no baby killings/abortion for legalized pot. I will be 57 in a few months so I remember the time no one I knew, besides myself and I'm not kidding, didn't smoke pot. Most of them grew out of it. Unfortunately, dead babies never get a chance to grow up. So, if your son's friends would be willing to stop all abortion that couldn't be proven to save a mom's life then I would be willing to grow the pot for all of their asses.
Obviously all of this is pure fantasy since neither I nor your son or any of us have any power over policy, and the politicians on both sides of the aisle play us for fools against one another. But I do know that until the US government decided to make pot illegal in the 1930's, when it used to grow everywhere, people had been smoking it forever. Our founding fathers grew the marijuana plant, for hemp to make ropes for ships ostensibly, but it's hard to believe none of them ever smoked it. OTOH, none of them would have EVER considered killing a baby for the crime of being "unwanted" by its mom or dad.
I was living in a little German farming town called Machtolsheim when the Wall came down in 1989; we just knew it meant an end to the decades long Cold War. Ha! Nothing changes. The next year my husband was in Desert Storm. I wished then, and still wish, that it were possible to wash our hands of the entire damn region. We could be energy independent in this country save for the crazy environmentalist wackjobs who opposite the pipeline AND every Dem who campaigns on preserving all our lands for such important critters as bugs and fish.

I notice they never bother to consider any environmental havoc they might end up wreaking on the oil regions who drill, frack and whatever. I was almost 31 when the Wall came down and I can assure you the very last thing I'd have expected would be to go into 2016 with Russia ascendant and the USA on her back, thanks to their leadership. Or in Obama's case, his craven retreat from the world.
