I guess this is what I'm not getting here. Is there some...like...GOOD REASON to be in debt? I remember reading a while back that it's a good thing for nations to be in debt, and I recall learning a bit about that, especially during the Revolutionary War, but I wasn't sure if, in the financial background, if there is any reason to?

I plan to be in debt only for large, necessary purchases or investments. I see no reason at all why I should wait another 4 years to pay off my student loans.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
