[GrassMonkey]

Don't know if he's sincere or not but this sounds pretty good. This could possibly be the start of the end.

While in office, President Carter stated the punishment should not be harsher than the crime. Maybe the government has finally noticed that low hanging fruit is all-around costly.

I didn't hear one negative caller on cspan after his announcment. Individuals across the political sprectrum called in to express their support. I doubt that it's by chance that CNN did a piece on medicinal cannabis last night. This appears organized and very positive.

Hmm... So this could be some sort of coordinated effort between CNN and the Justice Dept? That might be a little more conspiracy oriented than I can buy into, but I am not saying that it couldn't be possible. Regardless of any conspiracy, it is very uplifting to see progress being made on the cannabis legalization front. It has been a long, grueling time coming.

I saw the president  of the prosecutors association of the United states talking about Holders speech today he said he feels this sends the wrong message to "the children " and said its really unnecessary because the federal government rarely intervenes with local courts basically saying that they were going to proceed the way they always have .

I don't see political interests utilizing media outlets to promote programs in an orchestrated way as out of the ordinary. That's not to say that there's any correlation at all. I agree with you that it looks positive no matter the case.

Oh did I forget to mention it was on FOX news lol ...

It's funny, but when I see Obama or Holder speak out against the "establishment" I get the feeling that they are kind of afraid to say too much. They are kind of shy about being too bold. It makes me wonder whether or not these people fear for their very lives. I don't know if this fear is for their physical lives or their economic/political lives, but I sense fear there either way.

 

Thank you to all the ignorant sheep in the U.S. who are afraid to stand up to authority and who happily go about their lives refusing to question their relationship with the people who really run things in this country - big money.

You can say that again...... I remember back when the media and the politicians used to be against each other,,,,,,, It's all on party lines now. No such think as just reporting the news anymore......

Very astute Chauncey! In fact they are both 2nd gen immigrants. Obamas immigration is truly amazing how he ascended in a few short years. From Africa to the White house - in 2 short generations! wow

 

Eric Holder is also the first Black man in the AG office. 2nd gen whose father was from Barbados.  This is fascinating history here...

I also remember President Obama stating that legal medical marijuana wasn't going to be targeted and we all know how the dispensaries out west have faired. 

 

Is this just another one of those lies?   I have to wonder!
