ù Quoting Bob Rudolph from a message to Ryan Bagueros  ù 
BR> Well, in Colombia the pro-drug folks haven't done badly - maybe you 
BR> wanna  consider going there?
First, let's be clear that you agree that the police in this country as an 
organized entity influence law-making. So there will be no more of this "the 
police don't make the laws" crap. Second, the "pro-drug folks" you are 
referring to are just as much my enemy as any businessman, because that's 
what 
are. The drug lords are capitalist businessman, just like any other, whose 
interest is in profit before anything else.
Of course, this is probably why the CIA and the US Government has allied 
itself
with drug cartels when it suits them. 
BR> A situation brought about by tenants who are not responsible. Are you 
BR> trying  to say that expecting you to make and to keep a contract is 
BR> unjust?  
Again, you change the subject because you have nothing to say. Contracts is 
not
the issue - the issue is whether there is a bounty of lease-less apartments. 
And the answer is, as I've said from the beginning, NO. Have you finally 
conceded to this?
BR> THIS is horseshit of the purest ray serene.  You KNOW it is illegal, 
BR> you  CHOOSE to do it anyhow - now you want it to be someone else's 
BR> fault that you  got yourself arrested?
Unlike you, I do not let my CHOICES be affected by a crazed drug war waged by 
politicians and law enforcement. Do you think it is my fault that weed is 
illegal? Do you think it is my fault that the police create dangerous 
situations by criminalizing a harmless drug? I'm more than content to sit in 
my
house and smoke my weed and not bother anyone. It is law enforcement that has 
pulled all the punches here. 
BR> 'unjust' is a null term - hard to quantify. It sounds to me like you 
BR> think  anything you don't LIKE is unjust.
You seem to think that if someone says something is unjust, it is whining. Do 
I
think it is unfair for kids to be arrested for smoking a joint while the 
politicians play budget and election games with people's lives? Yes, I do. 
BR> a life into his  business that he's worth more because he feels that 
BR> way? Can it be that that  13-year-old has a few unrealistic 
BR> expectations of what he ought to have?
Where does he get off? Unrealistic expections of what he 'ought' to have? I 
see. Well, the kids I'm talking about live in my neighborhood, where you lull 
yourself to sleep at night to the sounds of police sirens wailing and guns 
going off. Would you let your 13-year-old daughter play in a neighborhood 
like 
that? Probably not, huh. Let me guess, you would just tell the 13-year-old 
that
life is filled with choices, and then maybe he'll teach you a few lessons on 
dodging bullets on the way to Kroger's.
