Physics - Fusion and Fission

Question regarding fusion: If the binding energies of the two hydrogen isotopes equal 10 MeV, and the binding energy of helium is 28 MeV, wouldn't the fusion require the input of 18 MeV? I don't understand. Doesn't the helium require more energy to hold together than the hydrogen isotopes had to begin with? And, even if the nucleons do just come together, how is there surplus energy if less energy went into the reaction than exists in the product?

Smoking pot in public, cops won't arrest! (read description)

There is no greater voice of pressure on legislatures than law enforcement and prosecutors. If people can show law enforcement that there is no need to punish this act, or if you can get prosecutors to be so unconcerned or even frustrated with the numbers of pot offenses in their offices, legislative change would not be far behind. Legislators (read: elected politicians) don't want to seem "soft on crime," that's why they are slow to move on decriminilization of pretty much anything. But if the people who are enforcing the law are fed up with it, or can show it's too much of a tax on the system without real benefit to society, they can put pressure on the legislature (and even the judiciary if the legislature doesn't respond) to make changes. Decriminilization of pot is going to be an arduous battle, and I think conducting massive smokeouts without any further resulting crime is a great tactic.
