People who go to prison under such laws are not sentenced to life in prison for the possession of pot. They are in prison becasue they are habitual criminals and have been convicted of THREE felonies.
Is possession of pot even a felony in California?
And an article from some wild-eyed socialist website with a post from 1999 about a movie by Michael Moore is hardly going to help your argument.
Well of course it is reported rapes it is damn hard to count the others. The parent poster pretty much said if you go to prison you are raped. I happen to be able to, in about 1 minute, find a study that disputed that pretty strongly.
Even for mild offences like check kiting, or smoking dope. Whatever your sentence is you have to add being raped several times a week to it.
That's what passes for law and order here. Being raped for all crimes no matter how minor.
Prison rape isn't as prevalent as you might think. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/svrca04.htm Though I wouldn't want to be in the.3% that it does happen to. For that matter I don't want to be in the other 99.7% either.
I've invented a gasoline replacement that burns clean with zero pollution. It is made with water and another easily obtainable element.
Now, I think I deserve to make a lot of money because I figured out how to do this. Unless you can guarantee that my formula will never be pirated I'll simply walk away and never tell you how to do it.
"...but the truth is, we are better off with no new laws at all."
Amen Brother! I grew up a Reagan Republican. I want the government to protect me from bad guys outside of the country and allow me to protect myself from bad guys inside the country. I would vote for anybody with an elephant on their campaign poster.
I have changed though. Now I want either Congress or the White House to be Far Right and the other to be Far Left. That way we will have NO new laws. None Zero Zilch.
Let the Supreme Court step in if the fighting between the two gets to the point that guns are going to be drawn..
And any politician that comes along and calls himself a moderate in either party should be shot on sight.
And if they do this they are basicly giving away the votes of their own state citizens which If I lived in one of those states would really piss me off.
I have absolutely no problem at all with 100% public surveillance, as long as all of the video feeds are available to any person at any time, and not just Big Brother.
So if the US Border Patrol were to suggest as an enforcement process the setting up of cameras along the border and surveil them with USBP agents you WOULD have a problem with it?
When did a country protecting its own borders from those that would cross them illegally become a "Big Brother" issue? You do realize that it is against the law for anyone, including US citizens, to leave or enter the country at any place other than an official border crossing point?
Oh I'm sorry you're talking about good books. I on the other hand was talking about popular books. Though I have little doubt that even the writers of those started out because they had something to say but after getting that first one out they really just want the money.
I didn't say there would be no books just fewer.

Does the EFF give out aluminum foil hats with membership now?
Do you have one case you can cite where a person convicted only for possession of pot has been given a life sentence?
Google ought to just block all links to e-bay from any search. That ought to get their attention.

Well that does it! No more hanging around polite charming people for me.

That's why I hang around
Has the EFF ever really gotten anything done. Having Google fight the fight is worth 100 EFFs.
Sounds like an overly techno version of this http://www.smartlock.com/test-r.htm that no one who actually needed a gun for self protection would use.

The much more critical question is to they leave piles of rootkits on the floor you have to clean up.

It doesn't have to be done to correct eyesight.
It does if you want to fly fighters which is what TFA is talking about.
+5 Insightful. PLEASE, let this be on my meta-mod list.
And fire their teachers in the process. Not a one of those adds any functionality to the phone and most would a pain in the butt to use.
Well it seems we /.'d NASA. Please, what ever you do, go to the NASA during a shuttle mission.
TFA asks the smae question on the last page in the Pros/Cons.
Yes

No, there would be many fewer books though.
By BF2 stats say I'm down to less than $0.15 cents per hour.
