DO YOU REALLY WANT GOVERNMENT THINKING FOR YOU INSTEAD OF SPEAKING FOR YOU


I don't know about you but do you not find it bizzare that the government-  on the state or  national level is telling us what kind of fats we can eat and use in our businesses -where we can smoke and that you cannot have smoking in your own private buisiness (that mandatory ban should only be in hospitals schools and Government buildings and I do not smoke!)  They are regulating just about everything these days- Banks- Car industry-  possibly health care( GOD FORBID)  Did you know that while all of this is going on Senator Barney Frank is trying to pass legislation  that  would remove federal criminal penalties for possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana and the not-for-profit transfer of up to one ounce (28.3 grams) of marijuana.

Congress can send the right message by passing this bill and demonstrating its commitment to defending individual freedom, while focusing federal law-enforcement resources on real crimes. As Barney Frank argues:

"I do not believe that the federal government should treat adults who choose to smoke marijuana as criminals. Federal law enforcement is a serious business, and we should be concentrating our efforts in this regard on measures that truly protect the public."Posted in Chronicle Blogg by Scott Morgan  -                                                                                                                                     While we were all panicking about the Swine Flu   Mexico passed legislation that a small amount of pot and heroin will not be prosecuted                                                                                                                   Okay   taxpayers- so you are not free to eat butter and trans fats  or cook with them even if you list the ingredients in private business (I am all for labels so I know what I am eating - I just want to decide for myself what it is I am going to eat)/  you  are not free to  have smoking in your own private establishment ( bars and restaurants) but according to Barney Frank  you should have the freedom to have a little pot. a little pot is okay!    Please wake up people!!!   little by little our freedoms are being taken away from us. Our Founding Fathers stated  that big government is not a good thing- if you do not believe  me go to any library or bookstore and find a book on the Founding Fathers or pick up a copy of The Five Thousand Year leap                           President Obama I just heard you say that you do not want the tobacco industry to entice teenagers to smoke- and you enacted legislation to do so - I hope you feel the same about Marijuana- what message does it send to teenagers that a little bit of pot is okay-
