If you want the government people to leave you alone you have to stop obeying them. This is a tough thing to do, and it’s silly to just jump in the deep end of noncooperation, so saying NO to the census people is a good starter disobedience. Have your video camera or audio recorder handy, and don’t be rude or mean. These people are mostly just folks looking for some work; they aren’t the government’s aggressors. They probably don’t realize the money for their checks comes from coercion and fraud. Here’s what happened when an “enumerator” came calling:
Rich Paul called Porc 411 yesterday to announce something different would be seen at the 420 – turns out it was what has been dubbed, Topless Tuesdays. Qik video from the scene:
It seems that the publicly funded propaganda tool known as the “Office of National Drug Control Policy” has issued its “strategy” to deal with the drug problem here in the United States. Of course there is nothing new or novel to what the Obama Administration thinks we should be doing about drugs here in the United States.
I quote: “We have many proven methods for reducing the demand for drugs. Keeping drugs illegal reduces their availability and lessens willingness to use them. That is why this Administration firmly opposes the legalization of marijuana or any other illicit drug. Legalizing drugs would increase accessibility and encourage promotion and acceptance of use. Diagnostic, laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological studies clearly indicate that marijuana use is associated with dependence, respiratory and mental illness, poor motor performance, and cognitive impairment, among other negative effects, and legalization would only exacerbate these problems.”
Along the lines of what I posted last week about the New Hampshire court system teetering on the edge of disaster, the lawyer who runs the court system in New Hampshire is in the Nashua Telegraph today declaring what I believe could potentially be some excellent news:
“Cutting the number of court session days could lead to an unacceptably long delay for lower-profile criminal defendants who could be released because they weren’t given a speedy trial, Broderick said.” He also says that “You could have some lower-end people walking. I don’t say it as a threat, because it’s a very real possibility(.)” What an excellent possibility indeed.
And by the way, these people aren’t “lower end.” They are human beings no better than you or I.
I think by “lower-profile criminal defendants” he potentially means people who haven’t actually hurt anyone else. What a novel idea……. not throwing people into a human cage who haven’t actually hurt someone.
