Yes We Cannabis: The Legalization Movement Plots Its Next 4 Years
The path we are on is mass suicide. We send our youths to blow up foreign countries, protect their borders and leave ours wide open. While the rest of the world grows to hate us for the untold damage/murder we do.
The unknowing U.S. citizen is left at the mercy of dangers too numerous to list in this venue. Political correctness is doing its job; it is murdering Western civilization. Immorial relitivsm is winning … we are headed back to the jungle with little resistance because of the loss of our founding concepts. The Enlightenment has been snuffed, which means the death of individual freedom. The Third World will engulf us as the barbarians did Rome.
No one will gain except the elite few who hold the reins of power, and history repeats itself over and over, always to the detriment of individual life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our nation had its chance and squandered it; pity the young and those to come.
