Opinion: Is it time to legalize marijuana?

gallup.com

Yes you’ve heard the argument before, but now America seems to agree. A new Gallup poll shows that for the first time in history, more Americans favor legalizing marijuana than are against it. Fifty percent say that it should be legal, while 46 percent say it shouldn’t. Liberals have the highest percentage at 69 percent, young people come in next at 62 percent. Last year, a similar Gallup poll showed 70 percent favor doctors making marijuana legal for medical pain and suffering.

WTF? More Votes “Found” In Wisconsin

UPDATE: The Wisconsin League is holding a press conference at 4 p.m. at the Waukesha County Clerk’s office.  Demand accountability for our elections by signing the petition here.

Just when the memories of the 2000 election started fading away. Check out this amazing scary story. Apparently a county clerk in Wisconsin found thousands of votes that she failed to report, shifting the Supreme Court race to the conservative candidate. Apparently, numbers don’t lie. SMDH!

The problems with things like this is that they make people not trust democracy. I mean, humans make mistakes all the time, so anything is possible. But for some reason this one smells a little fishy, especially because the county clerk in question used to work for the now victorious judge. I dunno, maybe I am just paranoid. What do you think?

Guitar/DJ Hero Discontinued|99Problems.org

Never has faking the funk been so legit, especially in music. The very popular game that allowed you do so is no longer being reproduced. Not only are the fake Guitarists looking for gigs now but the fake Djs, who found their swag through the DJ Hero console, are being laid off as well. It’s tough being a musician.

Now You Want to Fly Half Staff?

A 9-year-old girl was killed today while walking to the grocery store…sounds familiar. Every day, we lose thousands of children and youth to unimaginable gun-wars. Our government has never been so adamant about anti-violence until a member of their personal parliament was affected.

Don’t get me wrong… Any loss of life is tragic and the AZ shooting was another example of a senseless act of murder. But tragedy happens daily in our inner-cities.

During a meeting at the White House last year, I was told that miniature – i.e., child-sized – caskets were not an URGENCY to the House and Senate. I beg to differ…homicide rates in the US are 4 times that of the UK, 12 times that of Japan. Over 10,000 Americans die from gun violence every year, add on suicides/accidentals and it’s 20-30,000!

Eugene Robinson (Washington Post) said it best, “we have a murder rate that’s the shame of the developed world.”

The fact of the matter is elected officials aren’t the only parties we should be flying half staff for. WE THE PEOPLE should fly half staff everyday… every time WE THE PEOPLE lose someone to violence whether on home soil or not.
