The U.S.A. government is so fked up, they let baby killers like Casey Anthony walk, yet they jail Marc Emery. This just amplifies the arrogance of the American culture and the authoritarian bullying of the government, just because he has tried to stand up to their enslavement of the population and prohibition. The American people are a bunch of stooges to accept a dictatorship, which they are paying for, while being conned into thinking that they are a free democracy. God damn America!

Governments serve a role. They take a portion of income from every employed person, and with that money they have obligations to provide public services.  These public services should apply to everyone, such as roads, parks, hospitals, jails, etc. Governments should not be involved in special interest groups, either financially or administerily, as special interest groups should be funding themselves. And governments should not need be so massive as to require nearly 50% of workers' incomes.

"Principle over profit" Great quote Marc.

It's incredible, I really forgot there was even a time when people wanted stores closed on Sundays. It seems so ridiculous now, I couldn't even imagine this becoming law now a days, and that was only 20 years ago !!

We will all look back and think the same thing about marihuana years after it's legalized. FREE MARC.

 But NONE of those can ever be considered crimes as none of those actions, mowing one's own lawns or throwing a party on one's own property using one's own property, ever violate any individual's rights

[swu880]

omg!!! 'lord's day act!"s

This law demonstrates the fundamental difference between a crime & illegal act

A crime is a violation or infringement on individual's right.

You can make a BILLION laws making it illegal to mow a yard on a sunday or a thousand laws forbidding one to throw a party on fridays.
