His views on the decriminalization and legalization of drugs, and the ending of the Drug War.<BR/><BR/>It's not just because I am very strongly of the opinion that if Alcohol is legal, why the hell isn't Marijuana legal... It's also because of the amount of my tax money spent to enforce something I don't believe in, and bringing down "justice" upon those who thumb their noses at our ridiculous drug laws, and overpopulating our prisons etc...<BR/><BR/>I've been put in jail for possession of marijuana before, I'm not happy about it. I think the fed need to stay the HELL out of my personal life.<BR/><BR/>And thus, a major reason why I swing as Libertarian as I do.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and that I'm batshit crazy =)Soporhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647578353963214035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-87034453043000235782008-01-16T09:58:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:58:00.000-05:00Hmmmm tasty stout... /Sopor proceeds to pass out/Hmmmm tasty stout... /Sopor proceeds to pass out/Soporhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647578353963214035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-74834909013885829302008-01-16T08:47:00.000-05:002008-01-16T08:47:00.000-05:00Everyone should, steves.

I feel good about the fact that I voted on principle and could potentially "send a message" but I know damn well that I won't be able to vote Ron Paul a second time, and that makes me sad.Soporhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647578353963214035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-37702076939876448502008-01-15T14:30:00.000-05:002008-01-15T14:30:00.000-05:00Depends on what you mean by a "waste".In Michigan,...Depends on what you mean by a "waste".<BR/><BR/>In Michigan, I believe you have to get 15% of the vote to receive any delegates, so in that sense, you probably voted for a guy who won't get anything out of this primary.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it is never a waste if that is the guy you like. Early primaries are as important for the perception they create as for the delegates they bestow. Hell, some guy named "Uncommitted" has a chance to beat the until-recently-presumptive democratic nominee. Tell me that wouldn't have an impact.<BR/><BR/>Now if you voted for Duncan Hunter or Mike Gravel, you DID waste your vote. I can't spin it any other way...B Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874975455332269325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-20376784988204064412008-01-15T12:20:00.000-05:002008-01-15T12:20:00.000-05:00So, was my vote for Ron Paul a waste?So, was my vote for Ron Paul a waste?Soporhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647578353963214035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-70679073767015239152008-01-15T10:39:00.000-05:002008-01-15T10:39:00.000-05:00Woohoo!
