In cobra country a mongoose was born one day who didn’t want to fight cobras or anything else. The word spread from mongoose to mongoose that there was a mongoose who didn’t want to fight cobras. If he didn’t want to fight anything else, it was his own business, but it was the duty of every mongoose to kill cobras or be killed by cobras.

“Why?” asked the peacelike mongoose, and the word went around that the strange new mongoose was not only pro-cobra and anti-mongoose but intellectually curious and against the ideals and traditions of mongooism.

“He is crazy,” cried the young mongoose’s father.
“He is sick,” said his mother.
“He is a coward,” shouted his brothers.
“He is a mongoosexual,” whispered his sisters.

Strangers who had never laid eyes on the peacelike mongoose remembered that they had seen him crawling on his stomach, or trying on cobra hoods, or plotting the violent overthrow of Mongoosia.
“I am trying to use reason and intelligence,” said the strange new mongoose.

“Reason is six-sevenths of treason,” said one of his neighbors.
“Intelligence is what the enemy uses,” said another.

Finally, the rumor spread that the mongoose had venom in his sting, like a cobra, and he was tried, convicted by a show of paws, and condemned to banishment.

Moral: Ashes to ashes, and clay to clay,
if the enemy doesn’t get you your own folks may.

Visitors to Monticello don’t learn how Jefferson cultivated poppies, and his personal opium use may as well never have happened.

You may disagree with their decision, yet the only reason that they are able to have active cops working with them is that there is no way that they can be accused of not doing their job.

If it became known that LEAP members were failing to do what they were required to do in their job, then merely joining the organization could end up being a reason for being fired.

David Bratzer is effective because he makes it clear that he’s speaking on his own and not sabotaging his unit.

LEAP has a very tricky line to walk with active duty members. You may prefer that they go with active disobedience and to hell with the consequences, but they have decided to fight from within the system in order for their message to have more power.

LEAP has done tremendous things in the short time they’ve been around. It’s pretty disingenuous to say “screw them” just because you disagree with one decision.

So, they TALK a good game, but when one of their members actually walks the walk, they throw him under the bus.

Truly, it’s the face of FEAR showing on the part of the prohibs. More and more, they’re taking to trying drastic measures to shut us up. Meanwhile, state legislatures around the country are beginning to turn a deaf ear to the LEOs.

I am hoping that MPP, NORML, SSDP, LEAP and others will use their email lists and get behind this vote. They ask us to go support their videos, questions, ideas…. so hopefully they will rally behind us and get their email lists involved. The idea has dropped into 8th place, and there are many that are very close behind. Now is the time for us to be active!

9 days to go….

There is time to secure our spot in the discussion and there is plenty of time to lose it. What is your choice???

MPP, NORML, SSDP, LEAP…. Can we count on you???

Why would any man, armed to the teeth, shoot a Corgi (my cat is more dangerous)? Fear causes that.

Why would the same warrior shoot an unarmed child and her mother? Again, Fear.

Day in and day out, Officers fear for their lives. Over time, it has become acceptable to allow those fears to guide their actions because they know the public cannot hold them accountable.

We need to start holding them accountable.
