155. This was such a good post.

I cannot disagree with anything you said.
And the joint thing. Yes! I do not care if you want to smoke drugs i care about the sentence disparities. Yes we need to work on drug policy and lower prison times for non violent offenders, but i also don't want dealers hanging outside my home or anywhere really. There has to be another way to do this without just letting people sell drugs in parks and shoot each other over territory.
Put the money we save by not giving out 25 year sentences into rehabilitation and sober living, cheaper and more effective. Put the dealers into workforce development and trade technical schools and train them in good paying jobs, they do it for the money not for the status. And Jr college should be free up to an AA degree and trade school as well. Save money by training our offenders and making them into tax payers, and prevent more dealers by educating them in fields where they can earn a decent living. They can do Caltrans as punishment and pay a fine as long as no violence is involved. I think that is a better plan than 'Just Legalize all Drugs'.

On gun control. Yes.


You are spot on with the sudden noticing of income inequality. They only want to discuss class disparity, not gender or race inequality. And everything else you said in the last two paragraphs. Yes to all that to, i agree.
