Despite your kind instruction and informativeness, my position has stayed the same, that possession of marijuana at small quantities should be treated similarly to drunk driving.

You can imagine me doing gymnastics on the beach, if that's where your mind wants to go, but I'm just standing here.

He got reasonable treatment, which is not to say that the laws aren't overly harsh.

They aren't treated the same and you know that. You're merely stating your desire that the penalties to be the same. Big difference.

You can imagine you're standing still while you're doing gymnastics, if that's where your mind wants to go, but once you perform a somersault it's kind of evident what you're doing.

He got de facto legalization. The next person may not be so fortunate and have the book thrown at them.

I have been attempting to communicate with you.
Have you? Doesn't sound that way to me. I only see you stating how you think things ought to be. (...so abused. and your jpg), which started our "communications, doesn't sound like communicating at all either. I see triteness and smugness, not communication.
If you choose not to communicate with me, knowing very well what I am saying (that you do yourself no favor in refusing to consider that things can occur outside of the "natural' man-perceiving world) then I'll just take it that you are not communicating, whatever you write.
Can you put that in plain English. I have no idea what you are attempting to say at all. Not very effective communication on your part.
You mentioned that you do not believe that the world is the center of the universe. Neither is man.
Give me a link to what I "mentioned", don't paraphrase me. I'll tell you what I meant if it wasn't clear.
You sound very strange in this reply. I'm just guessing, but are you trying to bring this into a religious realm?
