I don't understand him at all. He's for the police state to the extreme but for legalization. Weird

Perhaps it is your emotional side that keeps you from understanding my perspective

And to think, I never thought I'd see "must spread some rep around" for azxd. I would have repped three of your posts if I could have.

I keep saying that some are looking in the wrong direction ... Villifying enforcement when it is nothing more than a symptom, does nothing to effect positive change.

How does someone speak, write, or even type without emotion? I'm not a robot so I find this difficult to do but perhaps you could let me in on your secrets to conquering the technique.

Edit: Although, thinking more about the subject at hand, perhaps you should keep those secrets to yourself. To be devoid of emotion sounds horrible.

It's called objective analysis ... You should try it, rather than subjective analysis, sometime.

Honestly, considering your other posts, perhaps I was too forthcoming. We have our disagreements for sure. My statements derive from experiences, though perhaps your's do too. Police corruption is the symptom of many laws, not just drug laws. It is instilled to treat their "beat" as occupied territory (at least where I am at). They do not care about a relationship with the people they are sworn to "protect and serve." As I've stated in other threads, the police are not MY friend. I have told them personally, when they stated the old "you wouldn't say that if we came and saved you," to let me die, I don't want you to save me as well as informed them I'd rather die than ever call them (in tears, as I was only around 11). Only after I told them that, did he stop trying to fight me. I was still ankle cuffed for another two hours. While you are pretty spot on, on the majority of your posts this thread, "villifying law enforcement" or what I call exposing truths, IS the first step.

That's not what you do.

Objective analysis of 3 of the 5 groups listed in the original post....

Every member draws salary from tax dollars.

Every members livelihood is dependent on continuing the status-quo.

People will lobby for their own financial benefit.


So it's simple for me to draw the conclusion that this rather large voting bloc will vote to preserve their own well-being.

It's also a simple matter for me to conclude that if these well armed people in positions of power believe their livelihood is threatened that they will fight back.

Gotta wonder who'll come out on the short end of that stick?
