changing perspectives

You know, this may sound strange but thats just thew way it is. I honestly can't remember the last time I changed my mind about an important issue. I'm a pretty consistant person. I feel the same way about abortion as I did 4 years ago. I feel the same way about gay marriage as I always have. I feel the same way about Bush being president as I did when I was 10. It's kinda funny that I called it way back then isn't it? The closest thing I can think of to changing my opinion on an important issue was my opinions on the legalization of marijuana. Back in the day in elementary school they brain washed us with the whole "Drugs are bad mmmkay" type speeches. I don't smoke, but I know people that do. Many of them are really cool people. Many of them aren't so cool. Now that I'm old enough to form my own opinion about it I think it should be legalized. I just don't see how an addictive thing like cigarettes can be legal and something non-addictive like marijuana isn't. Of course there wouold be restrictions placed on it like no driving while high, no weed for little kids, things of that nature. I don't exactly consider that to be a change in my opinoin though because being a little kid I just beleived what was told to me, so I really just had somebody elses opinion
