Well, in a capitalist system, the best and brightest should be rewarded.
We shouldn't punish people for a mistake they made years ago forever, for in doing so we limit their options.
In America, if you get caught with a certain amount of a certain substance, you're a felon. Forever. If you're an addict, you're often branded a felon. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time as a youth, you're a felon.

I think those labels for nonviolent criminals should be removed. Just my opinion. And, in doing so, would be doing a world of good for our nation as a whole.
