Aha, that explains it! It SEEMED as if it was directed at Tom, but

since you only used 's quotes and didn't mention Tom's name in

that particular post, it got very confusing. Glad to see another

Well, Tom does have a point about being legally responsible for this

list. As for trying to infect him, I have yet to see anyone change

anyone else's mind on such subjects one iota, by infection or other

means.

I didn't see you use any. It only appeared to me as if you were

heatedly bringing in Jesus into a discussion with , which I

thought both odd and a bit rudeish. But that's all cleared up now. :-

Sorry if I brought it up again. I'm a bit slow to comment due to very

limited online time lately. My friend is going home today so I expect

to have more time soon.

> I have seen our conversations regarding plants and politics as a

lesson in tolerance, something we all agree to need, but so slowly

As much as I would like to see some more too, I don't think it is

correct to assume that " we all agree " to need it. Those who don't

have it usually don't miss it at all. :-)

> I haven't attempted to change anyone's mind, only hoped that some

of them might open.

And a thin line between the two it is. I have found it generally

fruitless to persue such quests since I know that minds will open at

their own pace (if at all) and if there is something or someone

someone doesn't understand, life will usually put that person in a

position where they will get a first-hand experience of what it would

be like in the other person's shoes, so I don't really worry about

anyone's mind but my own. Though it does happen that I forget. : " )

On the other hand, if people didn't use pot, the police wouldn't have

to waste economic resources catching them and arresting them.

But pot users would rather disobey the law and all distract police

from catching paedophiles, economic criminals, heroin- & crack-

pushers and other REAL criminals.

But that is the logic of addiction.

" Treasonous " ? HOW can it underminne the federal government

economically? If the police could re-divert their resources into

catching paedophiles, economic criminals, heroin- & crack-pushers and

other REAL criminals instead of on filling prisons with ordinary, non-

criminal people for simple possession, that's a HUGE saving right

there. They could even put a tax on it, just like tobacco, and MAKE

money from it.
