Thanks....and nice pull.P.S.-Love the new sig.
You know me, law and order every time.
Mayor: I don't want any more trouble like you had last year in the Fillmore District. Understand? That's my policy.
Callahan: Yeah, well, when an adult-male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard, that's my policy.
Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.

This story makes me think of how devastating the troubles are country is dealing with can be on human life. It also reminds me of how unfair life can be, in this case, to a very young person.
This is a terrible story, and sorry that Bongman lost a friend. But what a selfish thing that man did to his young child. Especially after getting custody of her.
So he lost his job and had some money troubles. What he did to his own child is far worse than the economy. What he did really makes me angry.

The holiday is meaningless. No one really "gets it". It's just an excuse for some fireworks.
If Americans really understood and appreciated the significance of the events behind this holiday, they certainly wouldn't allow the bullshit that is happening to this country now.
There is no independence. We are just becoming an incompetent, freedomless, nanny state.
If only the founding fathers could see us now.
I get your point Drunk, which is why I posted the 'Declaration of Independece' for all to read and consider it's contents. It was a bold move for our founding fathers to decide to go against their comfort zones and "declare" that which would certainly lead to war with one of the most powerful nations on earth since the Roman Empire. But I do think that some of us do get it, especially anyone such as yourself who knows what it means to carry a rifle into battle for the cause of freedom and independece from tyranny.
Yeah, I'm sure some people are thinking "there goes Del again having to put a political spin on another fun holiday." But if we have forgotten what Independece means, and why it was so important to our founding fathers and every soldier who died to win that independece and to assure it for each of us over the last 233 years; then we really are not any better off than a bunch of drones in a nanny state.
I have no problem with patriotic parades, fireworks and hotdogs on the grill. But if we don't take a moment to savor our freedom on days like today, then we might as well dig up old King George and tell him that he was right and we were wrong to ever think that we should be free.
That being said, I hope eveyone has a happy and safe fourth of July, and hopefully they will take at least one moment out of their day to be thankful and thoughtful about the responsibilites of Independence.

Declaration of Independence
(Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)
The Unanimous Declaration
of the Thirteen United States of America
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

What was that bumper sticker I had in the 80s?
Oh yeah:
Taxation, Regulation, Legalization, Education.
Regardless, I am for cultivation of hemp as a cash crop. The yield vs investment is 10 to 1. I'm not talking smokable stuff, I mean textiles and fuel. Beats the hell outta cotton, wheat, soy or corn hand over fist! In fact we cleared whole states of the stuff that grew here naturally. Now we irrigate and fertilize at great cost for far smaller useable yield thanks to McCarthyism and so-called "reefer madness". The "demon weed" was the "fabric of our lives" for centuries. I'm not suggesting planting Nebraska with da kind Indica. Like I said, textile grade hemp isn't smokable and won't get you high. But it's an industrial goldmine. Soon as you erase the erroneous drug stigma. It's like outlawing ethanol because the government is convinced we'll start drinking it.
A nation run on hemp is a greener nation than one that runs on corn. Pun not intended.
I'd say I would agree with you on that Ev.
But haven't ever even tried to smoke industrial hemp? I'm sure somebody in the 60 must have given it a try.

That's the problem, decriminalizing doesn't allow you to grow your own.
Sure it would. There are already many forms of decriminalization of the drug already. Although in some jurisidictions it is still illegal to posess; an arrest with a limited amount is only equal to a speeding ticket. No jail time for certain.
What decriminalizing would do, would be to avert all law enforcment away from arresting and prosecuting people for the marijuana that they grow in their own homes for their own use. Sort of a don't ask don't tell sitution. Then the only crime would be if a person was trafficking in the drug for profit. Law enforcement would then be able to focus on more dangerous drugs and not waste time on the individual pot smoker in his home. Plus it would deny drug cartels in Mexico of one part of their business without firing a shot. When people who buy marijuana do so from dealers, most of the profit goes to some very evil people who are responsible for thousands of deaths in Mexico.
I have always argued that it makes no sense to arrest people and tie up police and court time for the individual use of the drug on a small scale even if I am against the drug myslef. But legalizing it for commercial sale and distribution would be a mistake in my opinion. Decriminalization keeps the government, the drug dealers and pharmaceutical industry out of the picture. At that point it becomes just a choice between you and what you can grow naturally in your home with your own soil, water and sunshine. Call my view a libertarian approach, but I think it makes good sense.. for this particular drug.
Of course how you aquire the seed stock would need to be resolved. Maybe that would be the limit of where commercial sales and government taxing could be involved.

It should not be legalized. The state does not need to be in the business of selling drugs anymore than it already is.
If anything to could be 'decriminalized' to the point where a person who chooses to could grow it and consume it in their own home. But never allowed to sell or distribute it.
It makes no sense to look for solutions to budget deficits by encouraging the selling of more drugs.
