Marijuana: The Miracle Drug
Posted by DdC]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:09:45 -0800 The Stranger Dont condemn him yet. Our police are like children, (who do not know how to admit they have been wrong,) These children is like current law enforcement policy,(A loosing war) not an open minded Education.

I favor the tiger theory of Rodney Dangerfield, eating their young or abortion as citizens, forfeiting their BOR like they do peoples houses. I used to say in the 90's before prop 215, when we passed measure A, that the cops don't come out of the box trained in not busting pot tokers, give em time. For almost 20 years as a hospice home health aid cannabis caregiver whatever, I've never had a problem with cops. They sometimes come with the coroner and I tell them the patient used Ganja and its not a problem. Never in 40 years of almost daily toking have I had a problem with cops, never busted because I don't sell it and I try to keep my name out of the headlines. So I know they aren't totally void of compassion or sense. They choose stupidity as a way around the initiatives. So if local cops can "see" then highly trained narkoslut DEAth Merchants can too. Times way up. Any moron can see Ganja has medicinal value, isn't addictive and poses no threat to society and still for 40 years they continue the lie. I don't believe anyone is that stupid and if they are they certainly shouldn't be toting live weapons.

Drink and drive and it's grrrrrrrr-eat! Smoke pot and your flakes are frosted, dude. So seems the message from Kellogg's, which has decided not to renew its sponsorship contract with Michael Phelps after the Olympian was photographed smoking marijuana at a party in South Carolina.

That's showbiz, of course, but the cereal and munchie company had no problem signing Phelps despite an alcohol-related arrest. full story...

Vices Are Not Crimes by Lysander Spooner…

I. A Vindication Of Moral Liberty

Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property.

Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another.

Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property.

In vices, the very essence of crime --- that is, the design to injure the person or property of another --- is wanting.

It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practises his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others.

Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property; no such things as the right of one man to the control of his own person and property, and the corresponding and coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property.

For a government to declare a vice to be a crime, and to punish it as such, is an attempt to falsify the very nature of things. It is as absurd as it would be to declare truth to be falsehood, or falsehood truth. continued...

Jury Nullification

"One may well ask: How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others? The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Did you hear they are getting David Duke to head the Civil Rights Commission.
Also brilliant.

And Rosie O'Donnel to chair the Council on Physical Fitness.
A natural.

Altogether, a very strange exercise in wishful thinking about Kerlikowske being a closeted revolutionary. Like many of Obama's center-right Cabinet appointees, Kerlikowske has not personally espoused any strong leadership or new ideas for change, and he has shown an aversion to making choices that might get him criticized. Maybe he'll reverse a few Bush-era paleocon policies. But don't expect any radical shift where it matters-- more than token funding for alternatives, or any kind of action to reduce racial disproportionality, reform the criminal justice system, and end the mass incarceration of poor people for non-violent offenses.

Do I need to remind you that he is responsible for the entire debacle that is/was WTO-Seattle? He sat in a 4-star restaurant and in a 'safe' office tower out of touch from the commanders on-scene during WTO and provided no leadership whatsoever. That is why he was thrown the fuck out.... way too late!

Stamper was never fit to be in charge of anything other than a freeform class at TESC!

Love Gil or hate Gil he's gone. Stamper would be lucky to be considered for a footnote in the Obama administration. Let's concentrate on making sure Gil's replacement is worthy!

By letting the "turn 'em loose Bruce" Mayor McCheesy Nickles drone police chief run Washington, gangbangers will have access to the chicken coop.
