Not only is the nation of Uruguay taking the lead and path out of the dark ages with cannabis but it's president is a down to earth dude that, in my humble and honest opinion, deserves a mention around this wonderful community. He is said to be "the world's poorest president," he lives in a farm not in the presidential palace, drives an old vw bug, ex-guerrilla dude and that he donates most of his income to charities that benefit the poor. Here is his wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José_Mujica  Whatcha think? (I know the dude ain't dead yet)

when you truly care about people, they are thankful to you. when a whole country is thankful to you, I do believe you can be happy without materialistic needs

I keep waiting to hear that this guy has some dark side, because everything I read about him is totally inspiring and truly admirable.

So far, so good, though, Dudes!
The clouds above us come together and disperse;
The breeze in the courtyard departs and returns.
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Who can keep us from celebrating?
