"...expands the rights of corporations at the expense of individuals."
Wrong. It limits the rights of everyone, period. Why do people so consistently miss the fact that less government involvement neatly solves problems like these?
I have to agree here, and this is one of the areas that Libertarians have it right-and both of the other parties are so far off base it is frightening. BOTH Dems and Reps are for big brother, and that is what scares me.
Laws like this are pathetic, and should be axed before they even get on the books. My personal policy is that if you are voting, look up who votes for laws of this and DON'T support them. This is the ONLY way that we Americans will be able to maintain a reasonably free society--by removin
I will probably vote Libertarian in the next election. The only thing that turns me off is the Libertarian polits whose main platform is the legalization of marijuana as a recreational drug. This platform, although popular in certain subcultures, scares the daylights out of so many people that it will never be a winning platform.
I know it's offtopic (mods, hammer away), but SO MANY PEOPLE smoke marijuana (and so many people use other drugs (many illegal) too), that it really ought not be a losing platform. The liberals are already for decriminalization, mostly; the conservatives ought to give it whirl based on the tax savings alone.
Are you mad? Everyone knows drug users are addicts and are all sociopaths that will kill you in your sleep and rape your wife and sell your tv for crack (unless that drug addict is White & wealthy, in wich case He's just misunderstood victim of what's really a desiease and we should support him as he works through rehab and returns to the AM airwaves). Besides, it's not like those taxes are coming out of their pockets, most of it comes from those they're throwing in jail for non-violent crimes. Fucking
exactly. so many people already smoke weed that if marajuana eroded society, society would have dissolved long ago. the numbers alone speak for the safety of the drug -- forget all the science that backs up the numbers.
You think modern conservatives give a rats ass about fiscal policy? Man, hell no. They only care about (a) maintaining power, (b) preparing for the imminent return of Jesus Christ, (c) making sure gays don't marry, and (d) abolishing taxes and the government and government programs which those taxes support. Everything else can go fuck itself.
