KMA-268,
The straw man comment was perfectly acceptable given that you were bringing up a non-related issue into the discussion and foisting it upon me.
I never claimed that possession of marijuana isnt a crime, nor did I claim that 2 + 2 != 4 (thanks for the math refresher). I mention "lifelong punishment" because that is exactly what disenfranchisement amounts to and that is what I was referrring to as draconian. You can react emotionally if you wish.
By pointing out the flaws in a law, am I not, in a sense, doing something to change it? Anyway, if you want to ban "blather," than I suspect that the tfproject will be not be long for this world, particularly the political forum. "How can you complain about [issue x]? Go out and change it!"
All in all, this is not the most important idea that was being discussed in this thread. I find the disenfranchisement of innocent people much more compelling. What do you think?
