You will have to hit the link to read the article, but it seems that this attorney(Richard McCague) was smuggling marijuana to his "client"(Germaine Cook) who is charged with kidnapping a University of Pittsburgh student on Jan. 9th and making him drive around for nine hours and forcing him to make purcahses on his credit card.

Their "constitutional arguments" are wholly bankrupt--morally and legally.

I have yet to see you present any objective argument to support that assertion. Dogmatic accusations devoid of reason are indoctrination, not debate.

Poor KDD. The Republic has been dead at least since the mid-1800s. All we have known as Americans since then is despondency, poverty, misery, shackles, and the blackest night of slavery.

Oh, who will free these people, these liberdopians yearning to smoke free? Where is that Moses who will rise up and take the bong generation into the promised land?

And George heard the call and said, "I will take charge of these people. I will give tender care to poor and affilicted drug users. I will break their chains. I will give them dope and hope."

And the Cato Institute said, "Amen."

Unintended Consequences! Drug Czar Admits Federal Anti-Drug Ads Having Opposite Effect On Teens

May 16, 2002 - Washington, DC, USA

Some Adolescents More Likely To Use Drugs After Viewing Ads, Federally-Commissioned Report Says

Washington, DC: Advertisements paid for by the federal government to deter teens from using drugs may actually be encouraging some viewers to experiment with marijuana, according to statements made by White House Drug Czar John Walters this week. Walters' admission came just days before the release of a federally-commissioned report announcing that the government's $1.8 billion dollar anti-drug ad campaign has failed to discourage teens from using drugs, and in some cases, may actually encourage use.

Nevertheless, despite the campaign's admitted failings, the Drug Czar is asking Congress to continue funding the program at present levels - approximately some $180 million annually. Walters alleges that he will manage the monies more efficiently than previous administrations.

Your comments are ridiculous!!! The WOD is a disaster. No amount of money or manpower will stop the use of recreational drugs.....PEROIOD!!!

Quit wasting our tax dollars on this stupidity!!!

The issue of harder drugs is strictly a medical issue and should be treated a such.

BUMP!!

I won't even try to enlighten your ignorance of history.

You lack the necessary cognitive skills to argue anything other then "pot is baaaddd".

No dane the reason you didn't want to post it was so you could say he was probably an ACLU
lawyer on every post. When you know he was a part timer for the PD office,
and has his own practice.

Huh? One doesn't have to work for the ACLU to join the ACLU. I bet you there are many public defenders out there who are dues paying members of the ACLU.

Bump to the WOD bump list......

And the crime of 'practicing medicine without a license' will be expunged from the books, eh? Medicine is used to treat diseases such as boredom, peer pressure, poverty, hopelessness, despair, and emotional pain, eh?

I'm sorry I'm so slow in responding. I've been weeping uncontrollably ever since reading your post. *Sniff*

I have never felt such pathos, I have never known such sadness on behalf of fellow human beings. I have not known sadness that even approaches the depth of this sadness since I first read about the Holocaust and the ovens of Auschwitz when I was 9 years old. But this--the brazen and cruel acts of THIS anti-dope statist regime--exceeds even the horrors of the Nazi holocaust.

For even the Nazis had the decency to allow the Volk to abuse drugs. *Sigh*

The miserable state of slavery inflicted on the liberdopians is just too much for me to bear.

Excuse me while I change out the sponges I have duct-taped beneath my eyes to catch the torrent of tears.

"This case is a travesty," said Rodney Tureaud, special agent in charge of the U.S. Customs Service in Seattle, which handled the seizure. "Some inner-city kid goes to prison for 15 years over a few grams of crack while these jokers have 5,000 pounds of cocaine and are sleeping in their own beds."

Sometimes. That's what anti-depressants are for. People get them by prescription from their doctor, and some people use them to excess and self-destruction. Most people learn to use physical exertion and other means to alter their endorphine levels, some of them to excess and self destruction. Many others self-medicate with alcohol, more frequently to excess and self destruction.

Sorry, but with Dane, its the same old mantra over and over.

Your post offers nothing of substance but serves as an example of vitriol and uncontrolled anger from the mind of a self-professed ideologue. Chill out.
