I'm not interested in MJ in any way shape or form, but I think this is good. We have issues with the war on drugs, and states are supposed to be "laboratories" for the nation as a whole. I am curious to see how this develops and if there will be a federal showdown.

In a system of perfect justice a death penalty may make sense. However, we do not have a system of perfect justice. Our legal system enforces written laws and is not pure justice. I think giving the government the power to write laws that go something like: if we believe you commited action x we...

Getting back to the matter at hand, if I may? There are several problems with Social Security, and these are the ones that stand out to me. Social Security is "mandatory spending." A government program that is classified as mandatory spending can't be affected by the congressional budget...

They took our country away through incremental change not large sweeping changes like the healthcare and cap/trade bills. I think it's more appropriate for us to be looking at this more tactically. Individual races will make a difference in the long run. Do you really think the country that...

Hello Everyone! Jeffrey Schott, is running in the Republican primary for US Congress in the PA 8th district. If he is nominated, he will oppose incumbent Democrat Patrick Murphy for the seat. I want to take this opportunity to make the forum aware of his candidacy and provide some links to some...

I agree completely paladin. I think we could move to getting government out of marriage from a situation where gay and straight marriage are equal.

This would be my platform if I ever ran for political office. I would like your thoughts. I am open to any and all debate or suggestion. Gay Marriage • Push to allow, same rules as straight marriage. Abortion • Allow • No government subsidies • Parental notification in the case of minors...

There's my poor english. "I have seen friends arrested."

I just noticed a sad trend with all of my hobbies and a general fear of Government. I do milsim with paintball and airsoft guns. The organizers of all our events are terrified that one injury will lead to the death of our hobby by government intervention. I regularly fly model aircraft with...

This might not matter to a lot of you, but this was a big win for us. We have all of the proxy votes, and this wednesday we are voting to dissolve our homeowners association. It's been a long hard road, but no private entity should have the right to levy taxes on or tell private citizens what to...

I love the presentation. I wish I thought of it. I'm just being picky. The only problem with this presentation is that the silver certificates are worth only their collectors or face value, and they have only been worth their collectors value since the 60's. The silver value of the certificate...

PA Two Thumbs WAY DOWN!

If you own your home but lose your job will the government be in the business of ceasing houses for back taxes no one can pay? If so what is your recourse other than hanging on to FRN for that specific purpose?

Isn't this tinfoil hat conspiracy stuff? I believe that the US Military is being misused and that there has been some "wear and tear" because of the needless wars in the middle east, but I don't believe in an overarching conspiracy or a major weakness in the US military. We need our military to...
