In most ways, I've had the best parents anyone could ask for. Intelligent, kind, loving, supportive of most things I do, politically aware and active, comfortable financially, relatively open-minded for their age and social standing. I've been lucky.

Of course, despite my best efforts, they're slow to come around on my usage of cannabis. They do support medical marijuana, here in CA, and I believe they would vote for the full legalization/decriminalization of it and probably smoke it, too. Ah well.
