Where's the Compassion (forget the War on Drugs already!)

And a little at a time, more states, more courts and more people are challenging the federal government's authority over "every blade of grass". Tick, tick, tick. If you think your trolling is changing people's minds, you're right. Every day someone else stumbles across your rants and realizes just how little you have to offer. Keep it up, I like it.

[CWOJackson]

Sure thing there sparky...which would explain why there are so many normal freepers here supporting you.

[TigersEye]

"The U.S. Supreme Court recently let stand a lower court ruling barring Uncle Sam from punishing doctors who prescribe medical marijuana."

It's hell losing ground so fast on such a high level.

[tacticalogic]

You just keep imagining that all the "normal" people agree with you, even if they don't say so, and are secretly cheering you on. I have no doubt Jim Carville and Michael Moore think the same thing.

[CWOJackson]

It took you all that time to come up with that?

It's not like there's a whole lot of discussion going on back here. leroy would be so disappointed.

[tacticalogic]

It can't be a lot of fun being reduced to doing a "Baghdad Bob" routine trying to make it go away, either.

[tacticalogic]

Been offline for awhile. I know I can count on you to alienate the lurkers while I'm gone.

[CWOJackson]

Yep, there's thoudands of lurker back here.

[tacticalogic]

And I'm sure you think you've just impressed the hell out of every one of them. Carry on.

[CWOJackson]

Just trying to keep their attention until you came back with your brillant comments. I knew you would be back, I figured you were just swamped trying to respond to all the freep-mail praises you were receiving from all your lurker fans.

I wish I weren't so intimidating so they would post their support to you openly here.

[Conservative til I die]

Jackass, you're the one who brought up Sweden. I talked about Switzerland.

[CWOJackson]

Whatever Moron...I don't consider either country work the U.S. following.

[CWOJackson]

But I do enjoy these intellectual exchanges.

BTW, the Air Force Choir wasn't it. There was a group from Bolling AFB, comprised of Catholic, Baptist, and other men/women from their churches. They even had a one-star USN Admiral, and a PO3, among the flyboys and/or their wives.

It was good to see my dad.

No one was killed, I am sorry to report to you. I did see a lot of folk on the streets of DC, though. There may be hope for you, yet, for another killing...

Yes, there is always something impressive about people who desire to live by principle and in a drug free society.

What's your problem with the Swedes?

[pageonetoo]

Yes, there is always something impressive about people who desire to live by principle and in a drug free society.

Those are not mutually exclusive traits! You admit to drinking, so you also admit that you do not live in a drug free society. Your drug-of-choice, alcoholic beverages, have been re-legalized. Mine will be, too! It already has been made so, in many places, and not just for 'medicinal' purposes. That really bugs you. I can rejoice, in a little victory, here and there... and I will...

You should think more before you make your smart-ass replies. they are stale, and illogical, to say the least.

We (my friends and associates) live by principle, but choose to disobey some of the rules of your 'society'. I'll bet you never break any laws, do you?

[CWOJackson]

"Those are not mutually exclusive traits!"

But they are if you're speaking about the military community, which you were. Folks in the military live by a set of core values, which includes not using illegal drugs. Of course you always get one who will but they're quickly removed from the community.

Bummer...I know. Damn military people and their core values.

[CWOJackson]

No problem with the Swedes whatsoever...and no desire for this country to copy their laws either.
