MSNBC--For Shame

Here's a quote from a recent MSNBC article about drug smuggling at the US/Mexico border (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33433955/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/from/ET): "That product is often marijuana, but it can also be cocaine, methamphetamine or heroin — all of it paid for by American drug abusers." When will the supposedly liberal press stop parroting the government line on drug use?

The Best Congress Money Can Buy

These folks you are crying about are bought and paid for by lobbying or PR and advertising firms representing companies that profit greatly from the prohibition and the ensuing War on Drugs. They are putting their children through the best colleges and Universities with the robust profits derived from nothing other than the prohibition against marijuana. That plus the elimination of the totally harmless commodity, hemp, which would compete fiercely with their products of paper made from trees, and rope made from nylon. We all know who these people are,and so does the government,who's politicians are also bought and sold by these same individuals.

It is up to us to rid congress and the senate of these political leaders that are the best that money can buy, and we can do it by the ballot. I highly recommend you consider electing Colonel Pepper to the office of President. I inhaled and won't lie about it. Furthermore due to the fact that possession of even small amounts of canabis has always been a felony, along with the the use of marijuana itself a felony, I figure that in the past 40 years I have committed about 35,000 felonies that I was never caught committing, and no proof exists to win a conviction either, so I just got away with it and nobody was hurt.
