Perhaps if we all switched to pot, we would have a right then?

Last I heard, King County voted to make pot a minimal crime, the same time they voted down their Starbucks Tax.

He addresses this in the article, calling it "typical stoner logic". Good stuff.

These people are called progressive? Something is missing here.

Perhaps, but he reminds me of someone who used to be stuffed in a locker during my high school days.

You and I think alike.

When I first saw the photo, I must confess I was thinking "How can we intrude on this guy's life - ban the chess club? Or is it hacky-sack?"

Yeah, I like how it's the conservatives supposedly trying to ban free speech. (cough) Tipper (cough).

It's not "progressive" it's subversive. That's all it aims to do.

Here is a thumbs-down to the Smokefree D.C. do-gooders and the D.C. Council,

...and here is my one finger salute to nico-nazis and DC in general. Like they have nothing more important to deal with than to screw smokers.

Not to change the subject but how is their utopian gun ban doing these days? Lets see now: gun bans and smoking bans that sounds like heaven to me and is definitely my destination if I relocate.......(/sarcasm)

And this is where it should end.

It's moving into gear over here, too.

And it's not going to stop before I die, so I hope I die before it gets bad.

I was in Seattle last week. The "25 foot rule" has got to be the most ignored law on the books.

Oh, I am angry. But I feel helpless against the socialist masses.

Sometimes, that makes me an activist. But sometimes, it just makes me tired.

First thing I thought is: circle-jerk.

How many times do you think he's watched Brokeback Mountain?

And to make it worse...alone!

The "25 foot rule" has got to be the most ignored law on the books.

Ignoring the law breeds contempt for the law. Thus, laws likely to be ignored should not be passed; and if they are passed, they should be repealed at the first opportunity. Otherwise, we descend into anarchy.
