It isn't the logarithmic attribute of the bitcoin code which will cause it to max out. Bitcoins will eventually run out by design, (meaning there will be no additional coins to be mined). People have speculated the rational behind this is so we don't get saddled with any flaws in the original code forever as we'll be forced at some point to make a new bitcoin, (or just split them up into smaller and smaller amounts).

Dude I'm on your side regarding pot laws, but lets be serious...you expected the fucking state of TEXAS to let you bring up a medical necessity defense for marijuana?

My point is judging the justice system based on one of the most backwards states in our country refusing to listen to your medical marijuana argument seems naive. I don't know what you expected.

Again, I'm pro-pot, and generally despise Texas and especially Texans, but your expectation is unrealistic at this point in time. You're dealing with racist 1940's America down there, people who's idea of sex education is telling kids Jesus will cry when they do it...

Famines are reduced by disease control. No reason to have a dozen kids in each family %50 aren't going to die by the time they reach a productive age. The huge families with unproductive small children will be smaller if the kids have better odds of surviving. The economics of family planning.
