I also graduated from UCSC in 2002, and like you, did not go to 420 when I was an undergrad. That's cool you live in Thousand Oaks; I grew up in Oak Park. No problem at all using the photo. Thanks for the credit, linking back here, and letting me know. I like many aspects of your article, including this part, "So years later, it was funny that a conservative guy like me wound up writing for a marijuana magazine. What can I say? I love a good underdog story – and marijuana is definitely it." I wish the best for you, your wife and son.

I used to go to UCSC ('98-'02) and never went to a 420 event!

I read with interest your blog post about Fred Keeley. I must say I’m not surprised. I have known Fred for years, and at one point, was very close with him. He is not what he appears, or what he’d like people to believe.

]]> Comment on The Maize Maze in Mexico by Aslihan http://bradleystuart.net/2002/12/09/the-maize-maze-in-mexico/#comment-390 Aslihan Tue, 21 Nov 2006 02:04:54 +0000 http://www.bradleystuart.net/?p=11#comment-390 Hi, I liked the breadth of coverage of this article, however it falls short of suggesting any better alternative to free trade, capitalism or financial liberalization. True that liberalization did not bring the expected positive impacts on inequality or poverty, but the reason is not that freer trade necessarily is bad for communities. Mexican economy is a lot more efficient now than it was before the liberalization process. The main problem is crony capitalism, bad public planning and a non-credible government. The solution to all of these problems is not to go back to closed economy where there are less opportunities for all and more room for non-transparent government and business activities. Liberalization can only do so much to create value, it is the governments and democracy's role to distribute the pie more equitably with progressive policies as it is done by welfare states in Europe. A last note: emphasizing the bad sides of everything is not realistic, because the world is full of grays (e.g. Mexican women benefited a lot from liberalization in term of increased employment, the poorest of the poor decreased in proportion and the economy is a lot more stable and less prone to crises every decade as it was in the past).
