		<description>Welcome Lex Green

&lt;B&gt;Unfortunately, they forgot to ask me.&lt;/B&gt;

They didn&#039;t forget.

&lt;B&gt;I am running for Governor as a Libertarian.&lt;/B&gt;

Just in the remote case the Myans were right about 2012. Instead of the runofthemill building the party for the future or trickle down voters. Why not try hitting the people with reality. Something so far out it goes above partisan parties. 1/8th of the population during good weather. 1/16th usually split between the status weirdo&#039;s while an eighth of the population  registered to vote, sit apathetically at home, especially if its raining. Give the apathetic something they can&#039;t get on programmed cable tv or corporate radio. Reality.

&lt;a HREF=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/ntg5wy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Al Capone&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.hempfarm.org/Papers/Shadow_of_the_Swastika.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Watergate&lt;/A&gt; were red herrings to divert the countries attention from the Fascist acts of eliminating competition. Booze/Ethanol or &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://endingcannabisprohibition.yuku.com/topic/1092&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ganja//Hemp&lt;/A&gt;.

&lt;B&gt;As governor, I will sign a bill to legalize cannibis for medical use.&lt;/B&gt;

At first, but the healthy have to wait?
Inch by inch... step by step... slowly it turns... Niagra!

&lt;B&gt;I want to end prohibition as well,
so we can stop the violence associated with the illegal drug trade.&lt;/B&gt;

The violins play for the illegal drug trade all the way to the Banks they now own. But the violence is from prohibition, not drugs. Drugs are done safely daily when they are done properly. People want to do drugs and smoke Ganja and are willing to buy it. No one &quot;sells&quot; illicit drugs. No commercials, flip charts or demographics. No twins in bikini&#039;s or even buildings or board rooms. Outlawing clean needles to deter use is insane. Even if it wasn&#039;t enforced the intent was to scare people out of doing something. Shame based BS. Classism. Culturism with clear racist opportunity.

The RxGanja IND program was shutdown by Boosh ! when AIDs patients started finding relief from wasting syndrome. One might see it as a form of gay redemption or even genocide. Can&#039;t happen here? Basically it was Boosh holdings with Lilly. Then Klintoon and McCaffrey pushing Thalidomide, flipper babies... to stimulate appetites. The status quo DNC  or GOP LP&amp;G divided over hobgoblins each forgetting their own individualism and allegiance to the United States of America not religious or idealistic or party or klan memberships. Trading American jobs for foreign cheap labor, then blaming the Unions for fighting for a living wage for Americans. Wallmart St and crude oil plastic or homegrown hemp plastic and clothing. Jobs right chere in river city. Get creative dude. 

&lt;B&gt;Alcohol prohibition gave us Al Capone and the Valentine’s Day massacre.&lt;/B&gt;

No, actually it was the Untouchables with Robert Stack as Elliott Ness, best known as Captain Kramer in the stoner flick Airplane. Also the same Randolph Hearst giving us Reefer Madness on dead trees and dining Nazi&#039;s at San Simeon castle, doing business with the same Industrialists and Banksters, same fascism. He was so good at it going back to stigmatizing the Chinese doing Opium, His picture literally is beside the definition of Yellow Journalism. Exaggerating characters features and pure gossip. Same later with Mexicans and Jazz musicians smoking reefer, gage or headlined &quot;marihuana&quot;. the weed from hell turning Southwestern young maidens into reefer addicts like Mari Juana. Or blacks doing cocaine having the strength of 10 men. Similar to the BS book by Walters and Bennett about predator kids ganging up on neighborhoods with no morals from high potency BC bud. Anslingers Gore files all designed to blow our minds against common sense. The religion of sobriety and codependency sells. Not ho hum same old shit dangers of the past. Reality.

&lt;B&gt;Modern prohibition is worse.
Let’s use common sense and end the violence.&lt;/B&gt;

¶8) As long as violence deters, mongers fear and profits Wallmart St. common sense dictates the Greed will remain, ie; the violence. Smoking a doobie without tragic results gets one an &quot;R&quot; rating in Moviewood, Violence in many forms is 24/7 on cable, mainlined to the living room. Ganja has been used thousands of years most likely preventing a lot of the carcinogens from camp fires and early fossil fools emissions. The Ganjawar is a relatively short time-span in human history and since its inception, but for the greed of a few. Cancer and Neurological Damage, Heart and Lung Diseases have skyrocketed parallel to the chemical profits causing them and treating them by the same multinational corporations. The Truth might give you an edge. Good Luck...

&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;&quot;A violently active, intrepid, brutal youth that is what I am after...
I will have no intellectual training.
Knowledge is ruin for my young men.&quot;&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>I felt compelled to point something out about Governor Pat Quinn&#039;s statement.

“People who are seriously ill deserve access to all medical treatments that will help them.”

This doesn&#039;t answer the question. And it doesn&#039;t tell us if Quinn thinks medical marijuana is a medical treatment that will help the seriously ill. He may think it doesn&#039;t help people, just like most of his political party, and therefore people don&#039;t deserve access to it. We can&#039;t tell what he thinks about medical marijuana from that. Its a deliberately evasive answer. Typical politician speak. Is that trustworthy and honest? NEXT.

As for voting, my opinion is, if you don&#039;t or can&#039;t take the gravity and reality behind the power of your vote seriously, then don&#039;t vote. You have a tremendous amount of power over your fellow citizens with your vote. 

Voting is not a popularity contest, it is not a game, it is not a joke, and it is not a casual affair. Voting means life and death to your fellow people. It means cages or freedom. Beyond those 4 core elements, voting means a lot of things to everyone, poverty or opportunity, intelligence or ignorance, suffering or health, and far too often now, screw you and give me mine. 

For me, the 4 core elements outrank everything else. Therefore, I could never vote for someone that would lock my fellow of citizens in cages for possessing cannabis. And a whole list of other things. I am not willing to use the awesome power of my vote to lock people in cages for cannabis, its just that simple. 

When we give the incredible power of our vote to a candidate/politician that believes in prohibition and locking our fellow people in cages, I believe we become our own enemy, and Pete&#039;s great post today reminds me of that. 

If we stop voting for prohibition supporters, there won&#039;t be any. That&#039;s a hell of a lot easier to do than having everyone decide to stop using &quot;drugs&quot;. We stopped voting for racists and misogynists, so why not stop voting for drug warriors?</description>

		<description>Rgardless of how anyone feels about politics, politicians and political parties, realistically that will be the people who can have an effect on cannabis law, negatively or positively.

If the issue of cannabis law is important to you, that is the issue you need to base your vote on when the opportunity comes up.  And you need to vote.  If for some reason you won&#039;t vote, you need to talk to others about voting for the candidate who you think shows promise.</description>

		<description>Jack:

Yep, that is pretty much what it is all about.  My friends and I used to call it &quot;Mofo incorporated&quot;, and that covered the entire predatory city and state government system.  Petty drug enforcement, traffic tickets, car towing, car impounding, auto insurance, fines for this and that...

Once a friend got a ticket for MJ and they impounded his car.  When we went to the towing company to get it back, there was a photo on the wall of the towing company guys playing baseball with the local sheriff&#039;s department. Big grins all around.

They&#039;re all in bed together, and some governments--especially old and established governments--are almost perfect parasites.  

The pattern is for the blood sucking to grow so intolerable that people move away to freer places.  Over time, more people move to the nice, low government location and the parasites follow and begin to multiply.  The eggs hatch and a new cycle begins.  A person has to be pretty wealthy or tolerant to survive in a heavily parasitical environment.  That...or join them and become a parasite yourself.

It looks like California has hit the saturation point, and people are moving away, looking for better opportunities.  Parasites never understand why their host tries to leave or scrape them off, but in the end they always follow the scent of blood.  Look out Texas!</description>
