Osun Defender ^ | 1/03/13 | Bilkis Adams

DAILY CURRANT – Colorado is reconsidering its decision to legalize recreational pot following the deaths of dozens due to marijuana overdoses.

According to a report in the Rocky Mountain News, 37 people were killed across the state on January 1st, the first day the drug became legal for all adults to purchase. Several more are clinging onto life in local emergency rooms and are not expected to survive.

“It’s complete chaos here,” says Dr. Jack Shepard, chief of surgery at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver, “I’ve put five college students in body bags since breakfast and more are arriving every minute.

You implied or suggested the Department of Transportation was a credible government agency,...

I did not. That is a false assumed premise.

#145 How about the credibility of the U.S. Department of Transportation?

You deny your above statement does not clearly imply or suggest the DOT is a credible government agency?

Of the five studies in question I suspect it is the most reliable due to better data collecting capabilities, loads more money and people who put together studies for a living not a grade in a class or a 5 O'clock news report.

Bet your jaw just dropped that you got an answer! ;^)

Government agencies with loads of money, certainly does not make them credible.

In fact the more $ government agencies have, the less productive, the more chaotic, wasteful and convoluted they become.

See? I knew you could form your own opinion. Albeit based on only one of the basis I gave for mine.

BTW, you are now implying that the other four studies have more credibility so, by your standards, you owe the thread an explanation of why those four studies carry more credibility.

I guess you could say the same for other government agencies, like the fed reserve, and U.S. Border Patrol. They have the most capabilities, loads of tax money and people who do that for a living....

But the ugly reality is,the Border Patrol is just another bloated inept government agency as they stand gawking as millions entering illegally. No?

This is very similar to the DOT you referred to. The DOT is just another bloated government agency, who has *zero* credibility...

Ya see, most all of these studies are biased, and have insiders involved who have clear conflicts of interest.

It might be a surprise to you, but keeping things like pot illegal for decades made a lot of people working in government and elsewhere lucrative careers, lots of money, job security etc...

It also help create most of the gangs, and street crime, which also gave more control to government and great job security and for those in the courts, cops, attorneys etc. They made a massive profitable industry out of it and created the need for more government control...More police...More cash registers in courts.

Drug gangs are using guns to kill each other!!! Ban guns..Total government control. Create a crisis and gain more control..

Most people are starting to get what's going on. Maybe you too.

Government throwing people in cages just for drug use/possession is a crime in itself. Were not talking about bank robbers, or rapist...or killers...I's

It's not how you treat your own so-called free people. We're supposed to be a united people...Remember?...Are they not our brothers and sisters? Instead they become targets for an out of control greedy reckless government? And the poor are some of their biggest targets? That's bull shit. How about offering them help if they want it, how about giving them some eduction..

Instead of a cages and jails, make it mandatory they sit in a class to learn about the pitfalls of drugs and the associated dangers...We can spend a 100 million on illegal alien healthcare, but can't do this for our own people? We can have "compassionate wars" but show no compassion for our own people?

Instead of offering help if someone needs it, or try to better educate them, they threw them in cages and seized their assets. Pure government greed and insanity. It's not the way you treat your own people. Everyone needs to wise up to this government con-game. It's cost the American tax payers a trillion+ dollars for this BS WOD.

The majority of the population with common sense now understand the WOD was a total 100 percent costly failure, which only helped create the path to a police state. Those in the courts, law enforcement, attorneys etc., had a field day with this golden goose.

Now that entire states are making pot legal, there are those in government trying to figure out how to totally regulate it's legal use...ie: permits, fines, etc., etc..The beat goes on and on with these people.

In regards to driving, the real brutal mass killer is alcohol and everyone knows it. Ask any cop. The grave yards are full of people who died in alcohol related collisions.

Lemme ask you a question.

Do you really feel govenrment is concerned with our safety and well being, or are they motivated by something else?

No. The BP has actually been fighting the 0bama admin so that it could do its job. Using a broad brush to tar the entire agency is also absurd.

It does not surprise me. I have known that for three decades at minimum.

Most people are starting to get what's going on. Maybe you too.

Probably long before you did. I picked up on the F&F story from the first thread posted about it in Nov. 2010.

That's a false syllogism. Like saying 'agency A is corrupt so all agencies are corrupt.' False syllogism. Or 'the head of agency A is corrupt so everyone in agency A is corrupt.' False syllogism.

You have the right to evade the question. Evading the question is not answering the question.

Exactly! The post and reply were about gun control not border corruption and payoffs. Your disingenuous straw men and word twisting is tedious and adolescent.

Answer the questions.
