Also, if someone has questions make sure to give them accurate information even if it means telling them you don't know or that you will look it up. You don't want to compromise your believability. remember that you are fighting propaganda not spreading it, no matter how good it sounds.
You can do this on a small or large scale depending on how much of your life you want to dedicate to it.
OK...so why then..are voters so heavily vested in this notion that "drugs".. or more specifically..drug users.. constitute an enemy comparable to those we fought in WW II..with equally dire consequences of defeat at their hands?...

Because the majority of voters are
old fucks that don't know any better
there are not enough young people actually voting.
Quote:
On the national level, the 2000 U.S. Census reported that 36 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds voted that year - 14 percent less than 25 to 34-year-olds and half of the 72 percent clip of 65 to 74-year-olds.

If 60% of the people 18-35 voted then many things would change
IMO that is

just a clarification, I was not calling anybody a  other than myself, because that's how I felt after coming up with such a rediculous block of text.
also, anna, I most certainly never meant you any disrespect, so please understand that I did not, and my apologies if it seemed that way.
the only intention behind any seriousness of any of my statements was actually in support of a positive attitude. Life is worth too much to give up, ever.

I vote.
Id say over 90% of my friends dont vote.
I got into a political discussion with my friend the other day and he didnt even know what the parties were or what their goals were.
Another one of my friends voted republican because he thought Jesus was on their side.

Again; the far right is anarchists and libertarians.
Either the government needs to strictly regulate everything and make sure everyone gets their share or they just need to take a "hands off" approach and let us do whatever the fuck we want without trying to control our lives.
They need to shit or get off the pot.

Smoke weed, grow shrooms, grow enough that you can give it away/sell for $2 a gram or less for the sake of equipment to grow more shrooms.
Get as many people as you can into shrooms for it's many beneficial uses. And I say having fun whilst killing your ego is a very spiritual thing, btw.
Find other like minded people and spread good quality drugs ethically and root out the scummy and/or rip-off dealers.
The solution to the war on drugs is the drugs themselves.

Lol, as if voting is going to do anything when it is all pretty much fixed anyway...
Government is the dumbest idea to ever come. If human beings need people to lead them or they will do stupid things... Well how the fuck can we be leaded by another human then? It just doesn't make sense, since the only people interested in ruling an entire country is control freak bastards, because if they weren't they wouldn't be in the business of ruling an entire country.
And even if they start out with good intentions, it ain't gonna last. POWER CORRUPTS, AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY!!!!

This too.
Most people have the "what does my vote matter when the popular vote doesnt count for shit" mentality.
The electoral college was instituted when the common man was not educated enough to vote.
It should have been abolished 50 years ago.
Anyone whose graduated high school and payed attention in government class should be educated enough to vote.

There is no reason for us to use propaganda when we are right.
Go to mpp.org and norml.com and from there check out their sections on what you can do to help. I email my representatives daily with their pre-made emails.
Progress is slowly coming.
NOT!!! fighting propaganda with propaganda is one of the best things we can do.

The CIA is supposedly the world's biggest drug trafficker. After they make money off us once they then have the opportunity to bust us and make money off us again.
if you look back to the Iran/Contra scandal in the 80's you'll see the
validity in that statement, the CIA was bringing drugs into the country
through the airport in Mena Arkansas, this was with the knowledge of
Bill Clinton as he was assigning state police to guard the airport, look
up the "Clinton Body Count" and you'll find a number of now deceased
folks, a few being state police that were ready to testify, many of
these deaths were under unusual circumstances, one with a shot to the
back of the head with a high powered rifle that was ruled a suicide
during the Clinton Administration you'll see there were several other
items of interests, the Clintons were heavily vested in the Savings and
Loan operations, banks of sorts, these financial institutions were
floundering, there was a huge run on them by the depositors, the
government bailed them out and it wasnt long before nothing more was
heard, these institutions are gone now and the billions that government
had given them are gone with them
--------------------
there are 923 words in the english language that do not follow the "I before E"
rule, there are 44 words in the english language that follow the rule. this is
the shit our education funding is paying for and these liberals want more money
for education to keep making students stupid
