Hi recallone,
Far from being embarrassing for you to try and explain things to me, your reasoning for your colocations are based on paranoia and double standards.
Just as you accuse me of labelling ALL users for the problem in Mexico, you use the same argument suggesting that ALL politicians, ALL police and ALL media are bare faced liars.
How do you know that everybody is shaking their head? Are you trying also to sway their opinion? Have you read all the posts?
I know perfectly well what lobbyists and politicians do behind the scenes, but we're talking about an 'illegal' activity open for anybody to take up. It would be the simplest thing in the world for politicians to make new laws and 'license' companies to grow the magic herb for a backhander. Unfortunately, pressure from the church and companies with conflicting interests at the moment won't let this happen. You really are stating the obvious at this point.
The case of the electric car was a purely commercial one, nothing to do with government, so much so that electric cars are popping up all over the world. Someone invents something interesting, a company buys that invention and if it isn't convenient to produce that invention at that time, they keep it on the shelf.
I'm from the music industry and I know only too well how this happens. But I won't wander off the point too much. However, you really will need to learn how commercial industry works before you come up with accurate reasoning.
Also I know who finance the drug wars, but that wasn't the theme of my first post. I'm not exactly sure from which hat you pulled that rabbit. You really do need to read the post again and understand its' point.
I base my reasoning on fact. If I don't have the facts I do research, from both sides of the argument. It really is good therapy. You should try it some time.
Inuendos? You really will have to point them out to me.
I see that Ron Paul is against recreational users of drugs. Send him an e-mail won't you. I never said that I was against them or for them. I always say this; They are free to do and decide what they want.
I'm sorry if my reply appears terse, but there you go.
Best regards,
Steve

You're a moderator on a website that regularly uncovers the lies of politicians, police and the media and you're standing on a soapbox about their merits?! Are you for real?
I know that everybody watching this thread is shaking their head at your back-pedaling and complete oblivion to the obvious factors involved in this topic, so let me explain it real slow for you - politicians are compensated financially to pass laws that give big business leverage in making more money with almost complete disregard for the rights and safety of the population.
The reason why I mentioned the electric car and the oil industry was to illustrate for you how big business and government are in cahoots with one another. You're repeating what you must have picked up on Fox news or something about how marijuana is the root of the problem that Mexico is facing, and therefore we must divide ourselves further by alienating these deviants that are okay with people dying for their little recreational toke, as you so aptly put it. Does that sound about right to you? Or has it occurred to you that the war on drugs is just another excuse to ramp up the military industrial complex? Hmmmmmmmmmm?
No, you just issued a blanket statement to include ALL who use.
I don't have the time to provide you with a list of links to show you how the 'Drug War' is financed by the same people that fight it, but maybe someone else with more patience will enlighten you. I don't have any left at this point.
Don't you think your little back-handed accusations and insults are transparent? They are to me, and I'm embarrassed to see you employing the same kind of tactic the PTB uses in swaying people's opinions - not with fact, but with innuendo. Whether or not I, or anyone else discussing this topic smokes marijuana is besides the point. If you don't think people have a right to smoke what they can grow from the ground, that's your opinion. But trying to lay the responsibility of all that suffering at the feet of pot smokers is about as laughable as jet fuel bringing down the twin towers.
I'm done.
Peace
