I would like to remark to the gentleman from Colorado that it wasn't a surprise to me to see that Colorado is the State that has legalized marijuana and so we also see the advocacy for this coming from the safe place. Perhaps it's a coincidence, but I'll give you two things to respond to. The other one is the reference to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Betsy Ross. That's quite curious. And I don't think we advocate all the things that they might have participated in. Two out of three of those would have fit within a category of an ownership that I don't really care to bring up today, even though today is Juneteenth.
