Are you suggesting we change to a pure democracy where the citizens vote on every issue? Are you more comfortable with that method of self-governing?
No, I am stating that there is political capital in the movement with large numbers of voters for it and it is not just a small number of extremists.
In other words a lot of voters support legalizing weed.
"No, I am stating that there is political capital in the movement with large numbers of voters for it and it is not just a small number of extremists."Really? Let's look at the results of Proposition 215 in California, shall we?
Now, you expect me to believe that "the people" of the State of California voted to legalize medical marijuana?
Well, it looks to me as though a large number of motivated extremists in the San Francisco area carried the day, doesn't it? Doesn't look like the will of "the people" exercising their political capital, does it?
