COLORADO LEADS THE WAY into an american future of personal freedom, legalizes marijuana. In direct violation of current federal law, the good citizens of the great state o colorado have decided that law enforcement expenses must be reduced, and our society made more sane.
In L.A., until quite recently, the number of medicinal marijuana stores was greater than the number of starbuck's coffee shops, and that's goin' some. You can almost start to see how this country got involved in a civil war, a war between the states within the nation, a war between half the american people, and the other half.
You almost start to think that it could happen again, at any time, over anything. Federal troops occupy newly legalized marijuana states, which threaten secession. Rich against poor riots intensify as Occupy Wall Street Movement gains momentum. Romney and Obama trade punches as demo and GOP gangs brawl on mall.
But wev'e gotten to the point whereat it is now illegal in new york city to buy or sell a fountain drink aka soda pop larger than sixteen ounces, and every conversation on any telephone in the country is subject to wire tapping.
Not to mention that tens of thousands of people are languishing in jail at tax payer expense, convicted of crimes that should not be considered crime, instead of freely and productively contributing to the nation's economic prosperity. Flat out don't make sense.
That government governs best which governs least. Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason, in that it attempts to control a man's appetites by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. Prohibition strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our nation was founded.
Proclaim the sacred ideal of american liberty from every rooftop and steeple, the human impulse to control others is a mighty strong forece to overcome. Let's keep rooting for america.
