I think it’s clear by now that the federal government needs to reclassify marijuana. People who need it should be able to get it – safely and easily.

Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out;

Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out.

And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."

Good quotes everyone!

 

I like the one from Thomas Jefferson about fearing government. There's a lot of good quotes around here. I heard a real good line in a song from a Native American man named Bill Miller, I haven't heard the song in a long time, it was when I listened to a Native station online, was curious about their issues, I learned a LOT, heard some awesome music, too, met some wonderful people online also who explained their issues to me and taught me some very valuable things; well anyway, this line was, "The truth will bury the lies." I thought that was one of the most powerful statements I'd ever heard. Maybe I have it on a CD, I bought some of his music, too. Many of the "quotes" I think of come from songs, so I hope it's ok.

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.

The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is

wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts

they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,

it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...

And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not

warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of

resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as

to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost

in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from

time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

It is its natural manure."

 

-- Thomas Jefferson
