Eureka(AP) - - If you're looking for a place to stage a pot party April 20th, don't bother coming to Clam Beach in Humboldt County. The county Board of Supervisors has been asked to close the beach that day because hundreds of people gathered last year for what's known as "420 Day."

The 420 refers to the number of marijuana threads per day on FR.

Kalifornia has the largest number of Freepers. That's just going by the ones who put their location in their profile.
This has to be an Onion ripoff.

Today's paradox: can a libertarian be a freeper?
To: hoosierskypilot
Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!
People can call themselves anthing they want to. Libertarians agree to sentence number two. It's just some of the causes that are championed are not up to snuff.

But I don't want to start a thread pitting the "jack booted statist thugs" against the "dope smoking cop hating pervert liberdopians".
Smokey Backroom, anyone?

420 is also Hitler's Birthday.

believe it refers to the fact that there are some 420 compounds in marijuana smoke, but there are other theories. Good grief, there are two predominate theories, and that aint one of them.
1) Its is alleged that in the 1960's, the police in California used a radio call signal of "420" to denote that they had viewed pot smokers, i.e., "This is car 54, we have a 420 in progress".
2) Something about 4:20 in the afternoon being the time you start smoking.
The "420 chemicals" think is nothing I have ever heard of, but the other two "theories" are widespread and accepted.

"Today's paradox: can a libertarian be a freeper?"
Oh know...you have opened a can of worms now...stand back and watch all the anti-libertarians and the libertarians go at it......
To: babaloo999
Thanx 4 your summary, but it seems libertarianism and a republic are at cross-purposes. Isn't libertarianism merely an anarchy?
To: hoosierskypilot
Pot takes the normally stupid and makes them political --- 'champions' of conservatism !

Didja ever notice that the folks who yammer on and on about pot have never smoked it and have no clue what it's all about?
To: hoosierskypilot
Libertarians claim to want less government involvement in our daily lives, with the Constitution as the law of the land. Allegedly.
I suppose freedom = anarchy, eventually.
To: babylonian
So they say.
But it's not that they favor pot, you see, just your freedom to smoke it. That elevates them, in their eyes, to Founding Father (and William F. Buckley) status.
But it's really moral relativism. That is, "I'm personally against smoking pot, but I favor legalization and if you choose to smoke pot, fine."
Heaven forbid if they were to judge someone's behavior.
To: hoosierskypilot
Yeah, if they register.

Heaven forbid if they were to judge someone's behavior. Your lack of understanding here is profound.
Libertarians have no trouble judging other people's behavior, and often do when they shouldn't.
What you're complaining about is that they're not always willing to put their moral judgements into law and use the force of the state to back them up.
I can see it now....
