Thank God for California

Quote:
It’s official. Tax Cannabis 2010, the most far-reaching state effort ever, which would legalize the consumption of cannabis for all adults over 21 — and would finally take the industry that serves those consumers out of a legal gray area — will qualify for the November mid-term ballot later today.

The Tax Cannabis campaign gathered just under 700,000 signatures, well over the 434,000 needed to qualify for the California ballot.
Quote:
A poll in April showed 56 percent support for legalization. And Tax Cannabis’ internal polling in March found 44 percent support among likely California voters in non-presidential elections. This was followed by an August internal poll that found 52 percent support by likely November 2010 voters.
Quote:
And as 13 states have followed California in legalizing medical marijuana, other states could similarly follow it if legalizes cannabis this year. In other words, as goes California, so could go many others

Time to Nuke Texas?

Yes.

How a group of Texas conservatives is rewriting your kids’ textbooks.

Once we're done nuking them, and accidentally nuking some other Southern States, they can be allowed to secede.

Those damn backward Southerners are destroying this nation and dragging the IQ average so low

The EU That Can Say No to Japan

 Japan Today:
The secretariat says bluefin tuna stock has declined more than 80 percent since data began to be taken 40 years ago.
The European Union also proposed the ban last year. But the proposal was rejected in September due to initial opposition from France and Italy.
The ban would only affect trade in bluefin tuna from the East Atlantic and Mediterranean. Its quota, set by the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, is 13,500 tons for this year, down from 20,000 tons for 2009. 
Japan asks EU to rethink proposed bluefin tuna trade ban

Go Australia!

Australia sets Nov deadline for Japan to end whaling in Antarctic waters › Japan Today: Japan News and Discussion

Quote:
Japan hunts annually in what Australia calls the Southern Ocean, where it kills around 1,000 whales for scientific research purposes.

The Japanese side claims it is doing so to better understand the life cycles of whales, their effect on the ecosystem and their population structure.
This is so full of shit! 1000 for scientific research? maybe researching them into food

I love Japan as much as the next guy, but this whaling shit gotta end

Quote:
Masayuki Komatsu, a former Japanese delegate to the International Whaling Commission who once described minke whales as ‘‘cockroaches of sea,’’ told the Australian Broadcasting Corp that he is ‘‘really confident that Japan will win over this litigation.’‘

Don Rothwell, a professor who teaches international law and maritime law at Australian National University, disagrees. He has advised the government that Australia has a strong legal argument against Japanese whaling.
I'm no political scientist, but it is Australian waters, am I right?

I'm glad Australia is taking action

Big Government vs. Big Corporate

A sign that hung in many Bell facilities in 1983 read:
There are two giant entities at work in our country, and they both have an amazing influence on our daily lives. . . one has given us radar, sonar, stereo, teletype, the transistor, hearing aids, artificial larynxes, talking movies, and the telephone. The other has given us the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, double-digit inflation, double-digit unemployment, the Great Depression, the gasoline crisis, and the Watergate fiasco. Guess which one is now trying to tell the other one how to run its business?

Bell labs gave us:
  • One-time pad cipher
  • The transistor
  • C
  • Unix
  • CCD sensor
  • First 32-bit microprocessor
  • WaveLAN
  • more...


What did the US government give us?

If only you smoked pot!

"I now have absolute proof that smoking even one marijuana cigarette is equal in brain damage to being on Bikini Island during an H-bomb blast" - Ronald Reagan

That would have prevented the Alzheimer's that slowly but surely destroyed your mental capacity.

Lincoln is the bestest president EVER!!


In addition to abolishing slavery, killing dixies and restoring the Union, Abraham Lincoln smoked pot.
Abraham Lincoln admitted in a letter written during his presidency that one of his "favorite things" was "sitting on [his] front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp".
"Prohibition... goes beyond the bound of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded"-Abraham Lincoln

Why is it illegal?

The FDA wants you to believe that cannabis is BAD, going to ridicouls lengths with statements like this:
"marijuana has a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Furthermore, there is currently sound evidence that smoked marijuana is harmful."

LIES!!

US Patent 6630507:
The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.


That's not all, you must have heard of medical marijuana, and here is a sample list of what it is known to cure/prevent:

Other studies have shown cannabis or cannabinoids may be useful in treating alcohol abuse, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or AD/HD) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, collagen-induced arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, atherosclerosis, autism, bipolar disorder, childhood mental disorders, colorectal cancer, depression, diabetic retinopathy, dystonia, epilepsy, digestive diseases, gliomas, hepatitis C, Huntington's disease, hypertension, urinary incontinence, leukemia, skin tumors, morning sickness, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Parkinson's disease, pruritus, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sickle-cell disease, and sleep apnea.
