tallhappy didn't say "overall"

That's why I didn't put it inside the quotation marks.

nor did he imply it.

Sure, he did ... and your next quotation supports that reading:

Also, he said, "actual Americans seem to be enacting laws that are going in the opposite direction" -- not "are".

My apologies to tallhappy for the misquote; I was working from memory. But if he was referring only to this single Michigan law, "seem to be" would have been a strange choice of verb ... whereas that verb fits very well an overall claim.

At any rate, it remains the case that many more pro-legalization-directed than anti-legalization-directed laws have been discussed on FR, which suggests that there are more of the former than the latter.

"which suggests that there are more of the former than the latter."

It does? The subject content of posted articles on a public web forum is a reliable indicator of the types of laws being passed by our legislators??

I take back what I said before -- THIS is got to be your dumbest post. Hands down. A new low.

"That's why I didn't put it inside the quotation marks."

Why did you "put it" anywhere in your response?
