What if Clear and Sane had not passed?

Other than a way to spice up a boring conversation, a real world what-if scenario is usually a giant waste of time. For instance, asking "what if America had not entered the Vietnam conflict?" stimulates untestable and unprovable hunches about culture, music, etc. However, for the sake of our conversation, what if Clear and Sane had never passed?

One evening, while tweaking a geospatial statistics user interface, Cardio was able to detect a slight but significant change in the slope of suicide rates in densely populated areas starting in 1984. Perhaps...

It is 2002. Cardio Plathemy is a math-minded minor legend in the American business community for his work around the nation-changing Clear and Sane legislation twenty years prior. Now, he has a vision for a new kind of company. The Green Paintbrush (thegreenpaintbrush.com) is his key to transforming our culture once again.

Through college classrooms and over-designed open workspaces, along highways and city sidewalks, Cardio and his proteges Cherry and Reginald build the still-imperfect world to come, secrets and tragedy and poetry and all.
