Ha. Politicians in the major parties are beholden to the corporate interests that benefit from war. It is as true in the UK and Europe as it is in the US. The struggle for freedom is truly a global phenomenon. And, to be honest, until the entire world, or at least the western world, figures out that free markets are a better answer to the problems we face than any answers government can come up with, we are destined to be involved in war and other disagreeable activities.

If memory serves me they put fake suitcase nukes in several countries and alerted those countries to their locations and let it be known that there were more, real nukes that could be remotely detonated. They also invited the press to view the detonation of a nuclear warhead on some Pacific atoll or something. It's definitely worth a read for any that have not yet read it.

Who are these "common peoples" and where are they? Are they the same as "the working man"? Also, how far do we dumb down our conversations to their level? Is there some kind of guide to identify and communicate with the "common peoples"? I'm afraid that I have been talking to people as if they are intelligent adults and I have not been hiding my agenda too well. I hope not many of them were "common peoples" because I surely wouldn't want to be considered radical. “We speak at the common peoples level….”

I’m afraid that I have been talking to people as if they are intelligent adults and I have not been hiding my agenda too well. I hope not many of them were “common peoples” because I surely wouldn’t want to be considered radical.

America has incrementally become a closed society over time and while I do not want to see America take equally as long to become an open and free society again, I do believe there is a need for a degree in incrementalism. We speak at the common peoples level and speak about generalities first and than in a process of education go deeper and deeper, leading them to the radical themselves. That way we cease to appear as "radical" because we have incrementally 'radicalized' the general populace, in an incremental way.

It's as if a child is faced with a hard decision and instead of growing up and doing the right thing they continue on instead acting like a child not taking on their due responsibility. Such is the price of liberty and the cost is eternal vigilance! I am still amazed that people just lull themselves back to sleep every-time this comes up.

The Libertarians I know are for legalization without taxation, but then a Dems (Ammiano) essentially came back with a compromise that was legalization with taxation. Now those Libs are thinking, "well that's better than nothing or the status quo." That sounds a lot like your argument, "let them come to us." Also, since there is a provision for home cultivation that would avoid the taxes, how many people do you think are going to go that route? I also think your argument that the marijuana people should be pushing for legalized heroin needs some warrants. Do you honestly think that those in power would actually come back with an offer to legalize marijuana in return for silence on the legal heroin issue (silence which would be unenforcable). The legalize heroin argument would fall on deaf ears for most of the public and the resources of the mj advocates would be wasted. Those in power would laugh at their tilting at windmills and not offer them anything because they aren't gaining leverage. As for incrementalism, it is working. We got medical in '96 and now we may be getting full legalization or at least a chance of it. (in CA) We could have neither. I hear what you are saying about staying radical. I have no plans on changing my position of full drug legalization. However I will take my incremental improvement when I can get it.
