In addition, U.S. Attorney Eric H. Holder Jr. said in an interview that he is considering not only prosecuting more marijuana cases but also asking the D.C. Council to enact stiffer penalties for the sale and use of marijuana.

“We have too long taken the view that what we would term to be minor crimes are not important,” Holder said, referring to current attitudes toward marijuana use and other offenses such as panhandling.<<<<

Oh doesn't he just sound Dreamy??

In keeping with all that "Change we can believe in stuff",here we get yet another politician who believes he has the right to decide what you and I as adults,do in the privacy of our own homes.Drink all the beer or wine or liquor you want...but don't you dare toke up,or we'll hunt you down like dogs.And goodness help you if you panhandle..

Oh yeah...he's like, my hero and everything.

5. It may be old,but has to be taken in context

when you stop to consider some of the choices that Obama has made,there seems to be a pattern emerging.

First Biden:

http://www.alternet.org/story/97810/


Joe Biden authored the laws establishing the White House drug czar and random drug testing of public employees, among others.

Voters who hoped that Barack Obama's call for "change" would include revamping U.S. drug policy are finding themselves with reasons to be skeptical.

First there was Obama's flip-flop-flip-flop on the subject of decriminalizing marijuana. Speaking at Northwestern University in January 2004, Obama called America's so-called "war on drugs" an "utter failure," and recommended, "(W)e need to rethink and decriminalize our (nation's) marijuana laws." (Obama's candid remarks, though out of step politically, echo public sentiment. Nearly 3 out of 4 Americans endorsed the policy in a 2002 CNN/Time Magazine poll, and 12 state legislatures have already enacted versions of pot decriminalization -- replacing criminal penalties with fine-only sanctions.)

Nevertheless, Obama reversed his pro-pot position during a televised November 2007 MSNBC debate, raising his hand to indicate his opposition to the policy. Following the debate, a spokesman for Obama claimed that the candidate had misunderstood the moderator's question and declared that Obama had, in fact, "always" supported decriminalization. Hours later, however, when presented with video footage of Obama's 2004 statements, the campaign reversed course once again, stating to the Washington Times that the Democratic nominee opposed decriminalizing weed.

Then Jim Ramstad (who Obama is considering for Drug Czar...

http://www.politico.com/blogs/thecrypt/1108/Ramstad_for_Drug_Czar.html
Ramstad has consistently voted against medical marijuana in Congress, opposing an effort to prevent the federal government from raiding or arresting medical marijuana clubs in states where it is legal.

=====================================================================================================

So it appears that the only the names will "change",and the policy will remain largely the same?Politicians sitting around in $1000 suits drinking fine Bourbon and smoking fancy cigars,and pretending to have our best interests at heart...but really busy feeding the Prison Combine.


Sorry if I sound bitter about it,but I really don't see how flushing money down the "War on Drugs" toilet is going to help anything.

6. If fr** R*public was in Germany, would it be called

Freeperbaum????

Could you research THAT for me??

[Oldenuff]

7. You want to be a little more clear?

Freeperbaum?

I think you got the wrong guy sport.

Suppose you elected a person who said he supported Gay-Lesbian and Transgender issues.Suppose further that he appointed people who were anti GLBT...what would your opinion be then?

[cliffordu]

9. Your 'concern' need to be addressed. We're here to help.

But your 'issues' aren't concerns at all, are they? ....you have YET to say anything positive about his choices for cabinet, or on any other level for that matter.

If you feel this negative about the President-elect, just come out and be a hater!!! Don't hide behind the mask of 'concern' and 'issues'!!!! Be a HATEFUL LITTLE PERSON!!!! But do it someplace where your work will be admired for the sly and substitantive poison it really is, where hatin' is more acceptable.

CELEBRATE YOUR HATE!!!!


I'd like to seem Obama sworn in and completely fuck something up before I throw him under a bus.

You? Not so much.
