If it became a partisan issue, Republicans would stop the law from changing. I sort of hope Democrats continue to show no leadership on marijuana.

I hadn't seen that. I've been ridin' with Biden, so to speak, since about 1987. I've learned a lot and laughed some, too, along the way. In fact, Joe Biden is a HUGE reason why I have become such a fan of America and still believe in the promise of America. Y'all are very fortunate to have had such a fine statesman as Biden working for you for so long. Thanks for that, Bashi! I hadn't seen that.

Step 5. Address the Root Causes of Crime

Any society that lets kids grow up dependent on government welfare, attending government schools that fail to teach, and entering an economy where government policy has crushed opportunity, will be a society that breeds criminals. No permanent solution to crime will be found until we address these root causes of crime.

The Libertarian Party would increase employment opportunities by slashing taxes and government red tape. We would also end the welfare system with its culture of dependence and hopelessness. Most important of all, we would promote low-cost private alternatives to the failed government school system.

I like the way you think, JFC

The way your POST, however, leaves something to be desired.. :D

You need to come with a Universal Translator... :D

Andy Harris... sigh... yeah, well, lots of strange people come out of the Eastern Shore (like Frank Perdue, for instance... "it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken..."). I'm waiting for a picture of the Scooby van trailing a big smoke cloud... Heh. -CW BashiBazouk -

You're still pretending that the Tea Party is a thing? They're called Republicans and this is not a Tea Party issue in the same way that abortion is not a Tea Party issue. Bagger Andy Harris (R-MD) led the charge against legalization in DC (for the children, of course). "it certainly isn't a Tea Party issue"
