Rep Power: 195 | | Traditional Value's View On Marijuana: Lies and Deceit are Traditions, Right?
I ran into this while reading the news. It's quite a lovely piece, full of facts and all sorts of information... Barney Frank Wants America To Be Woodstock Nation
Side Note: Here is from their "Traditional Values Defined" page.
"The Bible teaches us that we are to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. We believe it is a loving response to oppose behaviors that destroy individuals and families. It is not loving to allow someone to kill themselves or other individuals..."
Someone should tell them that:
A.) Cannabis hasn't killed anyone
B.) Calling people names is only loving if you're siblings.
C.) Being dishonest doesn't represent your values very well.

mornin' Smoke, thanks for the link.
after reading i decided to send them some feedback and this is the text of the
e-mail i sent.
'while i agree that Barney Frank deserves nothing but contempt, your ignorance regarding the
use of cannabis proves that you also deserve contempt.
perhaps you could have one of your 'volunteers' spend some time actually reading some of the
evidence that belies your antiquated and oppressive beliefs.
to make it easy for you, i've included a link where you will find all the evidence you want although
i don't expect you to bother trying to educate yourselves as, close-minded people like you and
Barney Frank prefer to spout whatever bullsh1t you think will get you what you want.' Granny Storm Crow's list- 2009 | | The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to justanotherbozo For This Useful Post: | |

while the "traditional values" site is a load of crap and needs to be hate-mailed into submission, barney frank seems to be pro MJ, seeing as he introduced a legalization bill... or maybe I'm just not reading right, correct me please if I found the wrong info. http://www.esquire.com/the-side/rich...71309?src=digg

Not wanting to get partisan here or anything... not my gig, but IMHO Barney Frank is generally an ass-hat and I was completely surprised to hear that he had joined Ron Paul in this bill. Sadly, he seems to get more credit on this, yet RP has been down with us all along and BF strikes me as a jumping in for the ride and the credit.
Then again... this is a just my general impression as I try not to watch politicos too closely, they all piss me off sooner or later.

You can be partisan, but fair warning, I strongly dislike partisan politics. (At least with our current two party corrupt situation.) But at the same time BF's help is needed.
And RP has his detractors as well. Ask me what they are if you really want to see some political fighting. |

probably another time STL but thanks and I agree, after the beating RP took during the Repub race, I agree... he needed the help or this thing would have gone through yrs. ago.
