I would hate to defend the people supporting the bill, but I don't think we will get THAT far, as it didn't work last time and America can't risk looking unstable to the terrorist, that would be really bad;Fighting two wars while having to combat homeland upheaval. Although I don't think Americans will go as far as they did in the 1920's. Most Americans are too fat and lazy to bother doing anything about it. They sit, nice and docile, like sheepele in front of the idiot box all day long, listening to the talking heads.

There are stoner's with more motivation then your average American. Not talking about anyone here though. At least we are having somewhat open discourse about this, which is more to say then most.

It should be noted, even though I am against prohibition, I am against breaking the law as well, and hope it doesn't come to a new era of Capone's.


You know a really good movie to watch? John Carptener's "They Live" that movie is a great 80's b flick, but at the same time, kinda a scary prediction of where we really are now.

I've personally given up TV, it really does squash ones ability for rational thinking. That is a different topic for a different thread, though.

Same here. I am not convinced that this doesn't include cigars and pipe tobacco. I asked the IPCPR directly, and they told me the same thing, that cigars and pipe tobacco are excluded, but I still don't see where they are getting that.

I would love for them to be right, but you sure can't prove it by what I read.

Love that movie. Remember the chick that co-starred? I don't know her name, but she had amazing blue eyes.
