Ooh for fuck sake Lamar...your making texas look bad. There is no politically possible way that will make it though the SC. And touching this bill seems like political suicide to me.

I wouldn't be surprised if our government did try to use it. They've done worse with the conspiracy charges.

On a side note, I was going to write about this a few days ago, then thought it wouldn't be a good story to write about...

Oh you silly Americans and your rights. Always complaining about gun rights and amendments and drug laws. Jeepers creepers. It's just your freedom of speech. I don't hear anyone making a big speech about this at all!

Silly Americans are un-American.

Yes it is their right for them to think/say what they want. And we dont mind that. Because we have the right to argue with them. But this is just retarded in any logical sense. While i do see the reasoning behind this bill it still stomps all over the rights of people.

Does the Smith Bill actually say in effect 'anyone who discusses/ plans/ or advises'? Becuase if so that is nuts. But I don't see something that gives carte blanche like that getting through.

It doesn't really strike me as an issue of freedom of speech so much as an issue of jesus christ who the fuck would look at the results of our drug policy and think "hey I know this is awesome and all, but don't you think the rest of the world is really missing out?"

This has been the crux of our foreign policy for the past entirety of our nation's existence, why stop now?

Right when I had typed that I realized how terribly inept I am at forcing myself into the perspective of the people who make these sorts of decisions. Said decision making seems to involve embarking on a cognitive journey from point A to point C in which you determine that point B is a goddamn queer and can go fuck himself.
