“Changing laws because the government can make a lot of money, is the bad precedent.
It's just that if we want the reform, we need to all be on the same page.

“She Knows nothing ... But since she brought up the good sence of the late President Ronald Reagan, maybe It’s worth looking back on Reagan’s policy on involving U.S. troops in the quarrels and hatreds of the Middle East. In 1983, he committed U.S. Marines to Lebanon. On Oct. 23, a terrorist truck bomb blew up the troops’ barracks, killing 220 Marines and 21 other troops.

At first, Reagan insisted that he wouldn’t cave in to the terrorist threat. Then he realized the best policy was to pull out the troops. Here’s how he explained it in his autobiography:

Perhaps we didn’t appreciate fully enough the depth of the hatred and the complexity of the problems that made the Middle East such a jungle. Perhaps the idea of a suicide car bomber committing mass murder to gain instant entry to Paradise was so foreign to our own values and consciousness that it did not create in us the concern for the marines’ safety that it should have.

In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believe the last thing that we should do was turn tail and leave. Yet the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there. If there would be some rethinking of policy before our men die, we would be a lot better off. If that policy had changed towards more of a neutral position and neutrality, those 241 marines would be alive today.”

“Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind...

“Wow..I'm starting to feel a lot less paraniod. But, I'm not smoking less...so it must be from the
laws changing. Maybe marijuana doesn't cause paranoia after all... and that I was only afraid
getting arrested by the police.”

“It seems like a very compelling legal case is only way that the Narcotics laws from the 1930's can get modified. How about.. The negative returns that marijuana laws have provided. Marijuana being illegal creates more crime than it ever prevents.”

“The taxing of medical marijuana would only hurt the progress of legalizing it.
I know many people say hey, it would help the states out. The problem is that, just as President Obama said during his internet question and answer forum..." It is not a good arguement for making it legal" He's right ...because no judsge would allow that as a
winning arguement in court,....­Then anything else could be legalized, as long as it got taxed. Not a good precedent to set.
Also the fact is ...the Medical Marijuana laws being passed by the states are doing fine with out it being taxed. We wouldn't want Medicine to be taxed anyway. Poor peole need to be able to afford medicine..­.It would only make the Medical Marijuana seem less legit.”

“Look... Isaac Eiland-Hall had the goods on Beck. Beck lost in a court of law, what more proof do you need ? It was a lot more compelling than those videos of ACORN! It doesn't matter, that nothing illegal happened..­.What matters is that people believe Beck is guilty... Just like people believe the ACORN worker in San Diego is guilty.”

“Rush said the exact same thing during his speech at the RNC earlier this year !

“Right on... Some wear it like a badge.!”

“I'm not sure what you find so funny.... changing the voting age to 25 would take the vote away from a large % of military members. Twit or not ... If your an adult, you should be able to vote !
As far as the mess you say were in, your going to have to be more clear...in­fact, your entire comment is nothing but an incoherent blur.”

“Very true !”

“Republikkk­ans.....ha !”

“Don't let the mistakes of the past, prevent us from doing the right thing now !”

“Right again, leveshot !”

“Atleast you realize that he's a man.......­.,boy!”

“So what % of private industry does the Gov. own ? and what is the rate that you say is alarming ? The Gov. has put ...what 25 billion into GM and Chrysler ? and the total GDP per yr. is 14.5 trillion that is 0.17% .... hardly a take-over !!”

“Along with plane crashes, gun shots, suicides, and even "ham sandwiches"”

“Government has not taken over private industry..­. Industry has privatized the government.”

“Maybe a cage match with Keith teaming up with Ed Schultz against O'reilly and Beck !”

“I beleive that your word play is misleading. The clinics were free of protests, ... meaning without protest. Not a protest clinic !”

“The drug that caused Jimi's death, is a legal Pharmacutical.”

“I don't smoke, and still got a lung disease...­. the stupid part was not getting a check-up for 20 years... not a very good strategic maneuver.”

“There are some very good programs on television. Just as there are plenty of lousy books to read. Current tv network has a program called Vanguard, that demonstates a lot of intelligence”

“we will have to leave it there for now !”

“I don't think the classification of schedule I was ever meant to suggest that those drugs are more dangerous to the public than cocaine, methamphetamine, opium, and PCP. Schedule I drugs are in that catagory because they are of no known medical use, They are mostly psychedelics.

Also PCP is in scedule one, the precursor to it is in schedule two.
