“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.

Santana speaks from the heart !”

“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.”

“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 !”

“It would be the "Palo Verde" (Az. state tree) which means Green Wood in spanish.”

“That's the same question Rep Weiner has been asking....
and no one has yet answered.”
