how do you feel knowing they probably pushed a murderer, child molester, armed robber, rapist right out the door from overcrowding to make room for a guy selling empty plastic bottles? Murderers, child molesters, armed robbers, etc. don't go to Club Fed like Chong did.
And who cares who smokes pot anyway?
Uh, that would be me. I have this silly, antiquated notion that people should obey the law and work within the system to change it if they feel they can't.

Fat people really have me irritated. I think I'll work within the system to push obesity laws and have overweight people thrown in jail, or the fat farm.

Yeah, that really works. So if the law said that you must give up your first child to the government for military purposes, but were allowed to keep the rest, and this became law, would you feel the same? Extreme example I know, but it is to prove a point that to follow the law, untill the law is changed, even when you disagree with that law isn't always the best answer. The only reason you feel this way is because you don't smoke pot I assume. That is a copout at best, "follow the law" my rump. That is a lame excuse to blame others and meddle in thier life. Your neighbor smoking pot effects you in no way the same as another neighbor drinking a beer. But it's a way for you to judge. Follow the law when it effects others, but not when it is harming noone but yourself. Self responsibility is the key. Someone I doubt you would feel this way if someone got in charge that you didn't agree with.
Argh, all the hypocrites in the world annoy me.
