True, the original laws against Marijuana were used by racist themselves too.

And I do not disagree that things are bad.  They usually get bad before they get worse.  Look at how much people attacks gay people, for just being gay, when Same Sex Marriage gets popular.  Anti-gay violence has skyrocketed since New York State approved Same Sex Marriage.

It's like that quote: "Mahatma Gandhi First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

It's precisely that more, and more state have a form of legalized Marijuana, that the Federal Government is cracking down harder.  What if studies can show that legalization is good for the community?  It will mean so much of what they have been saying is documented falsehoods.

 

Studies have shown that... for like, deades now.  It's just ignored.

Didn't know that about anti-gay violence in NY.  Interesting.

Yea, it's up, I forget the numbers, but something like 600% over the last couple of years.

In New York City alone, there have been several murders.  Two men were walking down the street recently, a group of guys asked one something about being gay, and like "Do you like your friend?"  And shot him dead in the head.

For a while in May it was close to someone was being murdered once a week for being gay.  Makes you wonder where it's coming from.


That's really disconcerting when you consider violent crime and homicide as a whole have been down.

I think it's a reaction to the civil rights improvements.  It happens for a while.

Then it goes to lower than before. 



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
