G-Fist]Everything you and Rok said is a nice thought, the problem is that making those policy changes within the current system is a pipe dream.
Funny you mention pipe dream because I took a nice rip of my pipe and am holding in the sweet vapors as I write this. Let me tell you a little story 'bout Democracy youngin'.
You see, what I just did with my herb pipe is illegal in my state. If I get caught I will be forced into drug court and forced to pay restitution to an invisible victim. The 2 years of probation will cost me over $4,000.
I'm a Drug War Veteran and I don't need a free thinking Libertarian to tell me that Government over reaches, I live it.
Although, sometime in the near future I'll no longer be seen as a criminal in the eyes of justice because the voting public will make it so by ending Prohibition 2-Electric Boogaloo.
This Democracy/Oligarchy system we have can be wicked awesome sometimes bronilla!
I won't have to pick up a gun, I won't have to protest, I won't have to write a letter to my congressmen, none of that shit. All I have to do is vote, simple as that. If I don't get the outcome I want then I take the loss and try to educate more people on my point of view.
And that G-Fist is one example of why I support voting.
How do those private roads work again?
