Now why do you think Jeff thinks they're for tobacco use? C'mon, I'm a liberdopian, but I'm not stupid. Anyhow, for the third time, do you think it is a smart use of resources to lock him up for 9 months?

And I ask you again if Tommy Chong knew what he was doing.

Sort of a no win situation for you.

If you say Chong did not know what he was doing(pushing a line of drug paraphernalia on the internet) then there goes your arguement that pot users are thoughtful law abiding people.

If you say that Tommy Chong did know what he was doing (pushing a line of drug paraphernalia on the internet), then you are admitting that he did it for political purposes and shouldn't suffer the consequences of flouting the law in such a public way.(i.e to you Jeff, Tommy Chong is above the law, because Tommy Chong is an icon to you).

Were the people who aided runaway slaves thoughtful, law-abiing people?

.(i.e to you Jeff, Tommy Chong is above the law, because Tommy Chong is an icon to you).

Why do you possibly think Chong is an "icon" to me? To me, "icons" are people such as my parents, pastor, firefighters, etc.

That said, we both realized he broke the law. In YOUR opinion, do you think his punishment is fitting or not? If not, what do YOU feel would be an appropriate punishment?
