Dangerous women
We have murderers, rapists, violent criminals, and other crazy ass people who are out walking the streets every day. We have all sorts illegal activities which probably transpire behind closed doors more often than most people think. We have a president and a vice president who themselves have engaged in dirty, underhanded, and illegal activities.* Hell, we are fighting a war on terror, and bringing freedom to the oppressed. (read: sarcastic).
You would think with all this going on our federal government would be busy bees. Nope. When will I stop seeing stories about old, ill, women being ARRESTED for smoking pot in their own homes when all the aforementioned things are going on. If a sick (in some cases terminally ill) woman can briefly forget about her illness, and have a few moments free of pain, by getting high, why should our tax dollars be paying to have her house raided and her arrested? Our federal government needs to seriously change its priorities. Old terminally ill women should be pretty low on list in my opinion.
*Ex. The president sold 212,140 shares (66%) of Harken Energy on June 22, 1990, netting nearly $850,000, while serving on the company's board of directors. Two months later, the stock plummetted after the company disclosed that it was carrying a larger debt and announced losses for its results in the second quarter of 1990. Although the White House claims that on the date of the sale, Bush filed a Form 144, also known as a Notice of Intent to Sell, he did not file the Form 4, the form reporting the sale, until March 1991, more than eight months later. This is a clear violation of federal law. According to the law, an insider is "legally required to disclose publicly by the 10th day of the month following the transaction any purchase or sale of stock in that company." So clearly Bush violated Federal Law is this case.
