Pot crusader Marc Emery says his appearance on the news program 60 Minutes on Sunday will be an opportunity for Americans to see him as just an ordinary guy who regards himself as the Luke Skywalker against their government's Darth Vader tactics.

I've known Marc for over a decade. He may be a motor-mouth, but he is fearless.
Catch the show!
Too bad they don't put him on a panel with David Gregory.
Luke Skywalker? More like Jar Jar Binks.
Most people would be amused that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is trying to extradite him to face drug charges, Emery said. Americans weren't forced to buy his marijuana seeds, he said.
"I think Americans are going to say that if this is the No. 1 drug trafficking kingpin, then I want to move to Canada," he said, adding he's fighting an evil empire similar to one in the movie Star Wars.
"I enjoy that comic-book premise of my actions, that it's this little tiny person trying to bring justice and dignity to a whole culture in the face of a big, monolithic, Nazified institution like the DEA."
I'm annoyed; I'm very annoyed.
Remember Steve Kubby? You gonna be laughin' when Emery's deported, convicted and sentenced? Or are we going to see another post from you, whining and crying about the unfairness of it all?
Who's your next case? Renee Boje?
Get your gloating in early, bobby boy!
Emery will slice and dice any contrary interviewer.
Well, that's to be expected - he's a pretty happy and healthy guy!
And he can talk - boy, can he talk!
Catch the show!
I think it is gone now.
I wish I had cached it.
I think ecstasy and cocaine may also contribute to Marcs' "dynamics".
I haven't followed Marc's shenanigans all that closely since the early '90s, when we campaigned together.
I have never known him to be anything but lucid, coherent, and positive - even if basically stoned on BC bud 24/7.

"-- I'm annoyed; I'm very annoyed" -- that somewhere someone may be living a life free of prohibitions.

No, I'm annoyed by these pretentious pr$%#s thumbing their noses at us from Canada. And the posters who support them.
Canada Ping!
Please FReepmail me to get on or off this Canada ping list.
Thanks for the ping, heads. Should be an interesting show.
It seems quite odd that the Canadian Government would extradite someone for a legal acitivty, and one from which they collect a boatload of taxes. Not surprising though. The Canuck pols are well taught by their Masters To The South.
"-- I'm annoyed; I'm very annoyed" -- that somewhere someone may be living a life free of prohibitions.
"-- No, I'm annoyed by these pretentious pr$%#s thumbing their noses at us from Canada" -- who have no right to a free life..
"-- And the posters who support them" -- who just don't understand the necessity for state controls on freedom.
Give it up paulsen; - we all understand your mania for the communitarian socialist's lifestyle.
