I could pick you up on my way home. Doin' a stint down in Evansville, IN for a couple weeks. Drove the cat down to stretch her legs before the next winter (she didn't get much workout this past winter as it was too damn cold).

Hope you're doin' well. Had one of them artery clogging burgers with bacon and some cheese curds a week or two back (my one time indulgence for the summer).

Don't worry Star - push comes to shove, I'll come pick you up!

The war on drugs, and decriminalization of marijuana and other "recreational drugs" is one of the things that I wholeheartedly agree with GJ about. You cannot force your morality or value system on others, it is impossible. At most, you can make the penalties so severe that most will not venture to break them, but we certainly have not done that. All we have done is create a system whereby those willing to take some moderate level of risk can get a huge payoff for doing so.

Prohibition also causes the potency of these intoxicants to increase dramatically. Prior to prohibition alcohol in the US was principally beer and wine. Yes there were distilled spirits, but they didn't command much of the marketplace. With the enactment of prohibition, beer was too voluminous for the amount of alcohol, so distilled spirits gained in popularity - and since much of it was not very well quality controlled, adding other things to it to mask the taste created the cocktail. And potency, so that more alcohol per unit volume, increased dramatically. It also led to the crime gangs like Capone, Moran, and the mob families in NY/NJ. Once alcohol prohibition was repealed, most of that control by gangs was abated. The same would occur with "recreational drugs" in my humble opinion.

You cannot protect someone from themselves. If they are intent on destroying themselves, they will find a way.

The whole cabal licks each others boots. This enclave is orders of magnitude worse than the yes men of the star chamber that JFK had around him - and far worse as they have as their objective the "fundamental transformation" of the nation.

Mark my words, before 1/20/17 there will be a national crisis that "requires" suspension of much of the constitution and if not before the election (which would require suspension of elections), then it will be cause for suspension of the transfer of power in order to ensure continuity of power to handle the crisis. Mark my words.

Why does he sound like such a moron off the teleprompter? Because he is a moron, and cannot think for himself, so needs to read what VJ has written for him.

Because if she dies, he won't be able to play golf all the time.

CG has been ensconced in the liberal enclave of Madison for far too long. His basis of judgment is so skewed left that it is impossible for him to judge anything by rational criteria anymore. As evidenced by a comment that he could not discern a difference between RP and BHO.

RP was not too far right, his foreign policy was out of the realm of reasonableness. But his domestic policies were very reasonable from a conservative/libertarian perspective. As you say, he was too far right for the Republicans, to that I heartily agree.

You need to go UP WIND of the dorms - you're getting too much of the happy weed smoke floating your way.

Yes, yes - purge those Xians all to hell. That's what they believe in anyway.
