To be clear, you think that a politician avoiding answering questions from constituents on a critical piece of legislation is a good thing?

Further, you believe that issuing boilerplate responses, from 6 months earlier, is a benificial manner to conduct matters of State and legislation with regard to voter concerns?

If that is what you mean by “well done”, then I understand your choice of vote. Of course it is your vote, and you may choose to use it however you wish.

I just want to understand how the actions described above qualify as a positive - which you failed to comment on. But to be fair, the above post is only part of the commentary on Senator Gillibrand’s response. Though I have provided the other portion of the commentary on the post on this blog as well. Which you failed to comment about at all.

You will have my vote in November.

I have taken into account the military spending in total. Even with the increases of the Obama Administration on top of the wasteful spending of the Bush Administration.

Which does not alter who this targets, the misconceptions it promotes, or the ABSOLUTE fallacy that the Government was ever intended to “take care of us”.

Not JUST the video, but it does it’s share to help. I believe the philosophy behind those that made this videio and truly believe these thoughts are destroying America. Or at least they would like to.

I feel the video is doing far more than that. Especially when you consider this was not targeted to adults, but to children in school. Were it presented to adults I might agree, but since it was to kids as part of their curriculum, I call that propoganda and warping the views they will grow to have.

Furthermore, the video doesn’t advocate overthrowing a democratic government in favor of a communist or socialist one. Instead it asks the citizens of our country (NOT the government) to take a look at how we get our products and make a change to that system … which seems to be a pretty democratic way to go about the matter.

Now, I don’t know the facts on U.S. military spending but that’s a completely different argument that doesn’t even belong in the video and I’m kinda surprised that it’s in there. So yeah, the video isn’t perfect, but don’t write the whole thing off as anti-American.

And how does the year change a child from getting on drugs?

Let me go another way with this. So the increase in drug use from 1960 til today has been beneficial to whom? How many lives have been destroyed by drugs over the decades? So according to you, since it is 2009, kids getting hooked on drugs is ok?

Does my political preference matter? How does that change a child getting involved with drugs?

Try posting your comment again without the vulgarity

First, as you stated you are a child, so I’m not that surprised by your response. But perhaps a grown man might help you a bit when you want to inform someone. Generally it helps if you know more or specifics that will benefit whomever you are speaking with. I guarantee that a Junior in high school (or even college) does not know more than me on this subject. Sorry. And I might have taken your comment far more seriously if you had the ability to say your thoughts without vulgarity, which only infers a weakness of the mind.

But let’s start with the important part. Giving minors drugs, whether your own or someone else’s, is ILLEGAL. And it is a crime for a reason. If you are an adult and want to screw up your life, that is one thing - not that I want to provide any help in that. But a child should be prevented from harm from idiots that would do things like this or worse.

Another thing, perhaps it’s because I’ve lived longer but I’ve seen the net results of drug use in hundreds of people over decades. Marijuana may not kill, but the quality of life I have observed is far less with than without. Like anything detrimental, it catches up with you over time. And Marijuana is psychoactive, not physical you are correct. It alters the way the mind works, in both subtle and long-term manners. Why would anyone want to damage their mind with a long term effect?

By the way, it is not just a plant. It is a plant that is process like anything else. In fact worse since if you buy it from a drug dealer you have NO idea what was done to it. Additives including cocaine, PCP, various household chemicals and several powerful industrial ones are often used to “enhance” weed. Why do you think they call it “Chronic”. Which takes the “all natural” thought and throws it out a window.

As for your hopes to learn about my life, read my bio. It should make many things clear. As for being a racist, that’s funny. You obviously have never read my writing besides this post. By the way, how exactly is it racist to highlight the negatives that exist in the Liberal and hip hop commuities? Or are you saying that only minorities are the whole of both groups? And if you are saying that, which is really the racist-leaning statement?

If you really would like to know about politics, go to http://www.mvass.com . If you really want to talk about the benefits of freedom and what it took to get that freedom, first join the Marines as I did and my family has done. When you get back from serving our nation I think you will have an appreciation of the nation that will really make things clear. If you are unwilling to do that, well then live for another decade of so, and then speak with me about the subject.

Lastly, I’m sorry to hear that you are so weak willed that you decided to alter your mind and break the law just because someone else did or told you to. I fear what other crimes and failures might be ahead for your life if you don’t learn to make choices for yourself based on thought and understanding of the consequences. And yes, the lollipipe is just like peer pressure, a means to get weak-willed individuals to smoke weed.
