Who’s more stupid: Rouson or Larrabee?

From Tallahassee, Florida, we’ve got here a couple of knuckleheads, a.k.a., Sen. Steve Wise, R-Jacksonville, and Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, who have “both filed legislation that would subject a range of pipes often used to smoke crack or marijuana to a 25 percent tax.” They used their noggins to come up with a creative new tax but didn’t stop to consider that their great idea could make them into accomplices to the distribution of drug paraphernalia, a crime in Florida that carries a one-year sentence and/or $1,000 fine.

How could writer, Brandon Larrabee, get away with letting Rouson say that what he hoped to do was “get rid of the charade, the hypocrisy”? Is it obvious to no one that the charade is Rouson pretending that he doesn’t know what Americans are using these things for? If Rouson wants to tax a tangible product that can also land a fellow Floridian in jail, then he is determined to tax what is essentially an illegal product.

I could be wrong but isn’t this sort of like putting the cart before the horse?   (Either tobacco needs to be criminally prohibited or marijuana prohibition needs to end.)  Aren’t senators supposed to be more intelligent than this? Maybe Floridians could consider coming up with law against senators who waste public time on stupid ideas.

Can you guess who I am?

Today I went to court to see judgment addressed by a small man with a gray top and a robe. Of five people, he heard me first on his “big load.” He asked me why I was there and I told him “to see the person who will make me officially homeless.” He smiled.

I filed for bankruptcy, I told him, and gave the bank my house. I wasn’t contesting; then again, all that I could contest was that the bank didn’t treat me like a human being. It wasn’t really the kind of stuff that anyone in a decision-making position, I thought, would ever want to hear anyway, things like: the murder of a family member or the various reasons my husband lost his mind; or how the market tumbled and left me without a source of income; or how I could find no one – neither in a leadership nor religious position – to act the part of brother’s keeper.

It was nice to see, though, that the judge understood. I told him the bank had locked me out of my home earlier in the year and he said that “was not right.” Then he signed my judgment with a date to auction the only thing in my life that had ever made me tick.

Aaronson’s Pro-Family Stance

The reality is that marijuana and prostitution are forms of legislated morality.  As the U.S. with the world both move into the Age of Reality, leaders like Palm Beach county commissioner Burt Aaronson will be remembered as a defender of governance on the basis of logic.   Thank you, Mr. Aaronson, for considering an end to Marijuana Prohibition and its concurrent war on American families.  For more information, Google PUFMM Florida.

Discriminating Federales

Is it true that HUD discriminates against women and Hispanics?

Jail-time for Selling Seeds in U.S. = FIVE YEARS!

And I ask, “Is this America?”

That’s what Marc Emery, the world’s Prince of Pot, is getting for selling marijuana seeds and funding a grassroots movement. .  (Montel Williams!  Why are you yelling about this one?)  Show your support for Marc Emery. 

Emery , the marijuana activist who is going to jail in the United States, is expected to be sentenced in the Seattle Federal Court of Ricardo Martinez on or around Monday, September 21. The plea agreement is for a 5-year sentence in US Federal Prison.

Global rallies in support of Marc will be on Saturday, September 19th.  Go to DEA Tampa District Office. 4950 W. Kennedy Boulevard, Suite 400. Tampa, Florida 33609.

False Drug Charges Rising in Central Florida

In Florida, one can lose one’s right to vote, a.k.a., disenfranchisement, and in Kissimmee, Florida, cops are going crazy these days trying to get as many people as possible arrested on drug charges. 

Kissimmee is located in Osceola County, Florida.  Michael Freilinger, is the county manager, a white man who claims he “gets the big bucks” for firing safety personnel.  So how is the county’s remaining staff controlling safety?

They’re putting everyone in jail?   Well, okay, not everyone, but they are putting a record number of people behind bars on drug charges.

Prohibition Multiplier Effect

I’ve already been told that my voice is not heard in Washington, DC, but how about that of millions of other Americans, those disenfranchised for no other reason than their use of an herb, medicine, drug, plant — or whatever you want to call it — is illegal.  This legislation of morality is nothing short of barbaric. 

Every one marijuana user arrested and jailed, has a multiplier effect on our society.  One arrested for what they consumed is equal to one mother, one father, at least one significant other, and even children. The more you ignore it, the worse it gets.

Please co-sponsor H.R. 2835, the Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act, and help bring this America into the 21st century.  Don’t do this for me, because I already know that America does not watch out for the least of us; do it because you respect humanity.

Stupid Marijuana Myths

Dear President Obama:

I feel safer with you in the White House in part because of your science- rather than ideology-guided decisions.  However, the person you elevated to drug czar doesn’t appear to have the same trust for science and is clearly misinformed as to the level of danger of marijuana.  I know it is hard to correct marijuana myths that have been expanding over decades here in the U.S., but at the very least, I expect the drug czar to get his facts straight.

Transparency is important and valued, but so is the breaking of myths surrounding the American drug problem, which, as you no doubt have probably noticed, includes both legal and illegal drugs.

"The Family of C Street" Gang

133 C St SE, Washington, DC 20003-1807  |  While all nations around the world and throughout the history of mankind have had problems because of religion, none is more sinister than the new American Mafia, a.k.a., “The Family of C Street” Gang.  It is the face of modern racism and sexism, all rolled up into a Jesus that is reminiscent of “the Buddy Christ” in the movie Dogma.

In this movie Alanis Morissette is not god.  God is Rush Limbaugh.

Like Rush, each member of The Family is a chosen one, and each one is encouraged to believe in the sanctity of the good-ole boy network.  In fact, the C Street Center is little more than a modern version of Virginia’s old (and I mean old) network.

Political racketeering “dedicated to ending the traditional American separation between religion and politics.”

Really!  This is not a joke.

Just like Rush, these people are dead serious and have even opened “The Family International” to cater to all their foreign leaders, of which there are apparently many.  It is beyond scary to think just how close the U.S. was to dictatorship by the Bush administration.

George W. Bush’s legacy is quickly sliding into what may be known to historians as darkest decade in United States history.  What this group believes is so medieval, it is frightening to think that C Street may have had an “invisible hand” in our current, worldwide economic crisis, and even the stealing of the 2000 presidential election.   For Floridians, it should be frightening to know that even Bill Nelson, D-Fla., is a member.
