I wonder if Obama is a black Clinton

[thetruthaboutstuff]

nope, its about the fact that Obama needs to get back into office in 12. he cant look like he is soft on crime so no real moves can happen tell then

you're right zapproowsdower. a majority of Americans have wanted a public health care system since 1948, but the powerful few block the powerless many. If there is a buck to be made off of peoples' misery, some evil billionaire will be there to strike it rich hence the war on drugs turning into a private prison industry. the few profit from the misery of the many

[copcorona]

why? some kinda Aztec calendar thing?

[thetruthaboutstuff]

@copcorona I wish it was that simple. Dont look to see a real change tell after 2012

[zapproowsdower]

We'll see slow step by step decriminalization, not legalization for a long time - public opinion doesn't amount to jack shit in terms of political sway when it comes to drug reform, prison reform, or any number of sensitive subjects - but hey, it's better than nothing!

2010 California legalization the dominoes will fall just like the Berlin wall
