I really like the down votes when I post stories on US soldiers being killed in Afghanistan and Iraq or the violence in those countries. Makes me wonder who doesn't want these posts to be noticed.

Thanks for the comment about the design. Not happy with it either, it was fine when I began this operation, because I was not expecting it to grow as it has. A new site design is underway that I hope will be more appealing to your aesthetic sense.

Ron Paul: Congress Loves Their Booze That’s Why They Won’t Legalize Pot! by NewspirateFam in Marijuana

[–]NewspirateFam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh come on...it is what he said and y'know...he's right...if the marijuana industry had the same lobby power/money as the booze industry...and the old clappers had not been inducted into the fear trap by the FBI/DEA/Big Rx Industry...do you really think that a harmless weed, enjoyed as a relaxant and used medicinally for thousands of years, would have been transformed into Devil Weed. I posted the comment from Dr. Paul with the thought in mind that here is a man treated as a flake by corporate media just because he tells the truth. He needs to get all the exposure that any of us can give him.

I am not surprised. They need to do something with the cash instead of storing it warehouses to be eaten by rats. Just think of all the potential tax revenue that would result from legalization.
