ReplyIf they allow Pot Shops in town then they should zone the town for driving under the influence of pot. We need a safe area of town free of pot head's driving. Better still only allow medical pot for those confined to bed and really sick. The mentally ill should not be allowed pot just so they can become more mentally ill.

ReplyIt is important to get the criminals young and prevent them from reproducing more crimiunals. If they are old enough to procreate then they are old enough to accept responsibility for their actions. Stop allowing conjugal visits for those in prison.

ReplyMake prosecuters responsible for their mistakes. Too many prosecutors just want to get a guilty verdict and they do not investigate to find out if the defendant is really guilty. If a prosecuter sends an innocent man to jail then he should have to srerve a similar sentence.

ReplyIt was dumb to say trash would be picked up Friday in the snow. I knew they could not do it safely. Now we will have trash mixed with the snow or an ugly mess.

ReplyThey should be severly punished to cure their behavior. Allowing this behavior is a big reason why we are having so many nuts getting PTSD and commiting suicide. I blame this behavior on so-called expert psychologists that lead parents wrongly.

ReplyIf she believes that private companies can be run more efficiently than the state then she should be in a private company. We need people in state government that will make the state projects more efficient than private companies. It is easy to be more efficient than private companies when you do not have to make a profit for investors.

Replyig business acts like a magician. They wave capitalism and say look at this while they practice monopolyism. Capitalism is based on competition and big business oppose competition. Small businesses compete while big business monopolizes and destroys competition. That is why big business only profits the top few percent of the population.

All that is needed is the truth. Hiding the truth from kids and counseling is what has society so screwed up. Back before the days of counseling and hiding truth we did not have PTSD and a large amount of people suffering from depression. There used to be a saying that a kid had to eat a peck of dirt before they died. Imune systems were stronger and so brains in ability to cope.
