I would simply like to thank John for continuing to engage in debate on these forums and in his change from angry, threatening belittlement to thoughtful interaction. Come down to the square some day and say hi. I'll be the first to admit this sort of thing attracts the shirtless, shoeless wiggers, but there are plenty of fine folks there. Programmers, an electrical engineer turned indy press agent, a proprietor and host of an internationally syndicated radio program, many regular working class men and women. There are of course teenagers who just want some free weed, but there also principled college students working crappy jobs to raise their lot in the world through lots of hard work and debt. Good folks all.

Gandhi was totally wrong; civil disobedience never accomplished anything because it's illegal, and when it's illegal – it's wrong!

India was freed by begging parliament to leave them alone…..

…Revisionist history FTW!

I suppose you're right LP, it could be interpreted that way too. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was supporting civil disobedience, but urging care.

You may be right, but people post enough blatantly awful, statist comments on here, at least it was something.

Is there a permalink? I'd like to see the comments on the Keene Sentinel website.

Nice to see Daniel Lakemacher posting here! I heard you on the Complete Liberty and School Sucks podcasts. Hope you make the move soon.

Funny, I read John's position as 'follow the law in public so you won't ruin your life in the 'somewhat broken' system.'

This directly opposes civil disobedience, and directly advocates working within the 'broken' system to accomplish…what, exactly?

'Retreat…to fight another day'

As I told him, he is an excellent troll

re: JOHN @ 6:14 pm

Nicely said, I am impressed by your position on this, and especially impressed that you cautioned care for practical reasons, rather than taking the "The law's the law! We must all obey it unquestionably no matter how immoral we believe it to be!" tack, which unfortunately seems to infect many people's brains.

…GEE, LPVIPER…I think that John guy is really *SCARED* of you…you've even got him *apologizing*…boot-licking little toady…PS: John, the law *ITSELF* is illegal…Prohibition was repealed because it's *UNCONSTITUTIONAL*…most "drug laws" are, too, which is why they were passed *AFTER* prohibition…the "Pure Food & Drug Act", (190?…) was a response to "snake-oil" sellers, & rampant OPIUM & *HEROIN* addiction…Heroin was given to the world by the Bayer, A.G. co. – a *GERMAN* chemical/pharmaceutical co., in 1880!!!…Notice how the Sentinel *ALWAYS* refers to cannabis as "…the drug…"…&etc….shiny, happy rainbow butterfly bubbles, or some shit like that, OK, LPVIPER???…
