We have this idea of pot-smokers-as-Jeff-Spicoli because it's only the slackers who can ADMIT that they use pot. Why are we only hearing about Carl Sagan's pot use three years after his death? He and other high-profile successful people hide their pot use IN THE CLOSET because they don't want to lose their careers and their property.
Saying that only slackers use pot is like saying that all gay people are interior decorators. Your doctor or accountant is gay too, but just can't be open about it.

Hey, man. She didn't need a doctor, she needed a cop in full military-style gear with one of those cool laser sites they use to target pot smokers. Yeah, baby. The Drug War is so much cooler for cops than the old days when they didn't get to dress up like such badasses.
Medical bills? Cannabis has been a very common way to grow your own (cheap) medicine and self-medicate your way out of chronic pain for thousands of years. Weird that it was made illegal just as the drug companies got really big and powerful. Now it costs an awful lot to (poorly) manage pain, and many people (especially in developing countries) go without adequate pain management for lack of funds. (Cannabis is now against the law in the whole UN thanks to US pressure... that's why it's "tolerated" in Amsterdam and not legal.)
Cannabis is the Linux of pain management. Scares the shit out of Phizer.
The Feds are already doing this. Mostly, they destroy ditchweed, which is related to Cannabis, but doesn't get you high. Sometimes they find some ditchweed growing wild on the back 40 of some poor bastard's farm and he does 10 years. They are working on a virus that they promise will only kill Cannabis plants. After they release it into the wild and save America, they will celebrate with a six pack of Budweiser(tm) and a some Marlboros(tm). God bless America.
PS. Your family could have got much stupider much quicker and much cheaper by inhaling household cleansers and they wouldn't have had to worry about satellite surveilance.
Did you ever see that movie Half Baked? The guy stops smoking pot and gets edgy, so he goes to an Alcoholics Anonymous style meeting and gets up and says he's addicted to pot and then that guy who used to host World's Funniest Home Videos gets up and he's like "Pot? I sucked dick for crack. Did you ever suck dick for pot?" and the crowd kicks the pot smoker out.
There are a lot of tobacco smokers who'd love to be able to just give up cigarettes for two months while traveling.
Oh, come on. Xerox had a bunch of research that they didn't know how to market, so they sold it to Apple for a bunch of Apple stock and they made a ton of money when the Mac took off. Where exactly is the stealing?
The answers to your other points are 1) Apple menu, 2) yes, and 3) Mac OS X.
Don't you think that's an over-simplification when 700 000 marijuana users are arrested each year in America? It's not the fact that science can produce such a tool, it's that the government wants it, and that they have way too much power to be trusted with it.
Record companies got really fat selling us their entire vinyl catalogs on CD, and now they want to get even fatter selling their catalogs all over again in digital files with all kinds of restrictions about where you can play them, and only after you've given them all kinds of personal info for the watermark.
A CD ripper is their worst nightmare. I don't have to buy Led Zepplin IV from them again, I just transfer my CD (and license) to MP3. That is the heart of what they don't like, long-term. They know full well that most people are happy to pay for their music, even without being forced to, but nobody wants to pay AGAIN for their music, or again and again.
If you want to pay a dollar to download "Stairway to Heaven" in some proprietary format (and another dollar for it again in a few years when the format changes slightly... remember "remastered" CD's) then be my guest.

It's amazing how Apple is the bad guy here.

Lots of copper G3's out there for quite a while now. There's even a utility called PPCchecker you can run to check if your CPU is copper or aluminum.
