WOW ! Zo Wraps up the "Debate" and then some,,,,UPDATE,,Testament to my view courtesy of 'The Libertarian Patriot'

For those who might be just waking up or those in Rio Linda you may have to pause some in this as Zo is fired-up about the "debates" in SC. this past week,,,,,,,,



I myself agree with the majority of what Zo is saying here on both Cain and Santorum and Paul for that matter, but to be honest I disagree to a point as it comes to the "drug" issue.

Please let me qualify my difference respectively. I see the entire "war on drugs" a complete waste of money and resources especially in light of our economy and the general war on terrorism we are engaged in and make no mistake the latter circumstance is a real war.

Calm down fellow Patriots. I am not speaking about cocaine, heroin or any other hard-core drug use but that of Marijuana. I have seen the benefits of it to those in the throws of cancer, no not life-saving but true comfort in pain control, a real appetite resulting in gaining weight and color in skin in their last years, months or even days.

I know people who are not sick and do not drink or smoke any other tobacco product but do smoke this 'illegal' substance and function just fine as you and I and that includes holding a job. Oh, and to be totally honest, in my youth I not only tried it but unlike Slick Willy I am honest, I inhaled. Now that was a big boost to Burger King and the Hostess Corporation.

My last point there brings me back to the economy on this subject, taxes. If made legal and taxed (for those of age of course), Marijuana that is can you imagine what the States would bring in as to revenue let alone the Fed's? What about the savings in not incarcerating people (making them criminals) for a 'joint'. People speak of laying off police personnel in this economy, well if the tax revenue from legal Marijuana sales (much like cigarettes) were added to the mix we could keep them all (with the golden parachute retirements) to fight actual crime.

I am Conservative and some may see this as Libertarian but one thing is for sure I am a realist; stop this taxpayer money-sucking, duplicitous police agency "war on drugs"!

Sure, go after the stuff that kills people but for God's sake make Marijuana legal, grow it, tax it and heres an idea,,export it! Talk about a cash crop! Grow Baby Grow!

I know, kind of a rant but Zo got to me, as always I welcome all comments including Zo if he see's this.
