Ive always thought that they banned pot because they cant tax it.. is this true?
no
This is not about pot. That was just brought up by rob.
It is part of the problem though. Folks want lesser time for things they may do that is currently against the law.
The prisons will fill more because we have weakened our society. As a group most want a better life but as individuals we want to cater to ourselves. Business as usual.
Look at it this way. Everyone complains about the government but they vote the same idiots in time and again. As a group we have issues with the way things are but, for the most part, folks think their guy is doing a great job.
pot is just one of the many issues....I agree with what you wrote...what sux is all the ones that are there for voting for...are idiots.
what I find messed up is you have to be a millionaire to become president....
powerful words that everyone should study......
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
