"We believe that respecting the wishes of the electorates of Colorado and Washington and allowing responsible state authorities to carry out those wishes will provide valuable information in an important national debate. Our request does not mean any permanent waiver of the ability of the federal government to enforce national laws should there be negative consequences of these state decisions – which we do not believe are at all likely – and thus we have as a result of these two states’ decisions a chance to observe in two states the effect of the policy that we continue to believe would be wise for the country as a whole. Those who disagree with us should welcome the opportunity to put their theories to a test." But everyone knows Ron Paul is 'crazy' though, right? And Governor Gary Johnson too... I believe that the feds DO NOT WANT to allow for a state to succeed at a better way. I believe that the fight is for "status quo +" (meaning all the power and more) that they have now at the federal level.
Which makes what DeGette is doing all the more interesting. |

Reductio ad absurdum arguments are every bit as moronic when promoting the free use of marijuana as they are in asserting that gay marriage leads to people marrying their pets.

I suspect this as well, although I'm high, so my chain of thought might not be up to par. |

Thank Madison for that, not Hamilton. Hamilton did NOT want federal limits of power, he wanted federal power. He was a nationalist. |

It's natures best hangover cure because it makes you drink a lot of water, eat a bunch of food and sleep. And because you're high you don't notice how crappy you feel.
I wouldn't necessarily say the weed is the "cure", more of a catalyst. |

Remember that time you lectured a group of people about the perils of smoking weed while climbing? But it turned out they weren't actually smoking pot.
I remember:

Is that something a Libertarian would do? Or would he let people live their lives the way they see fit without interference?

Hi Mark. Let me ask you this. WERE YOU THERE? You are so quick to quote what someone else said, but forgot what you said on that same thread:

Because that is not what happened.
Go back to the thread and refer to when I said that the first time. Then check yourself.

Read the rest of the thread. Don't forget to read the parts where you defended yourself for going over to a bunch of random people to tell them that they shouldn't be smoking weed while climbing. But they weren't smoking weed. I was.
Sorry, should have given you a "spoiler alert!"
Now tell me all about how much of a Libertarian you are.

Just remember that's me and Wade, (both of which were there), saying just how it happened, and then you, (who was not there), arguing with us about it. So why are you being such a bitch? March 2009 was a while back. Get a new soundtrack. PS: The "meanings" review of the song I posted concludes:

I'm really not sure where the breakdown in your understanding is. I was there. I was the soloist in the story. Here are some more facts for you:
- You approached a random group of six climbers and gave them an unsolicited lecture about smoking weed and climbing.
- One of the people in that group posted that left a bad taste in his mouth; and he asserted his right to smoke if he wanted to even though he wasn't actually smoking.
- Your response to him asserting his rights was this:
Tony B wrote: tell me about your "right" to smoke pot in Eldo. hahha ha. Go tell it to a cop or a judge or someone who even cares. They'll explain it better to you.
- And now you're claiming that you're not a fair-weather Libertarian.
Tony B wrote: So why are you being such a bitch?
Why do you resort to name calling just because I pointed out your hypocrisy? I don't think it does anything to bolster your credibility.

That's great. But you should probably put a little more effort into understanding the situation before you try to subscribe lyrics to it. The lyrics are meaningless considering you don't even understand what's going on here.
I look forward to your vitriol-filled response. But it's unlikely that I'll have anything more to say about it. :-)
Have a good weekend and climb safe Tony. |
