I don’t know that it’s fair to describe ‘the pot’ as an illegal drug anymore (at least depending on locality), and I’m pretty sure that the term ‘street’ drugs refers more to nasty synthetic life destroying substances with zero benefit (crack, meth, etc).

Yeah, but tourist money gets dispersed among the general economy of Utah. We’re talking corporations that want all that money for themselves, and politicians who want their pockets padded by the corporations. Of course the corporations will create tens to hundreds of jobs - a small percentage of the jobs created by…

White. Brown. Easy math.

You’ve never done the pot?

Is it bad that despite my always taking care to drive cautiously through neighborhoods - I often stifle the urge to mow these things down, particularly when they’re placed in the middle of the road, just begging for it...

I’m pretty much convinced that the only way forward is bottom up - we need new blood in the party, to bring in new ideas and less tainted reason. The old guard lost the election, and a reframing of their stated objectives isn’t going to change anything of note.

Actually, it’s public record. Advancements in technology over the past few decades have provided us with a method of accessing information that is faster (and more current) than your local library’s aging suite of Britannica. I won’t spoil the adventure for you, but here’s a great starting point:

Hillary also didn’t win against Obama...

It would also fix all problems concerning wealth inequality, climate change, and healthcare.

The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes

They also traditionally reside in DC, are guarded by the Secret Service, understand the Constitution, and garner the popular vote... but you know, drain the swamp and all that...

dag is an acceptable variant to dang, but saying dang with an exaggerated drawl is where it’s at.

You sound like awesome friend material!

I didn’t call you a dumbass. I did initially respond with heavy snark because you mentioned Jim Crowe out of nowhere. I also did edit my post approximately 30 seconds after posting, because I saw your other replies immediately and realized you weren’t some dumb fuck trolling the south. All of this transpired before…
