    And the honorable Senator Norm Coleman’s response was ???

    Last week there was a debate between a DEA agent and a former editor of High Times in Athens ,Ohio.One quote stood out.DEA agent Robert Stutman,’Americans are not ready to make another mistake like we did with alcohol and tobacco’.See,pot,a beer or a cigar are all the same to these people.They have a belief how people should live and will take any step possible to attain their goal.

    I read this as I listened to my Quadraphonic LP recording of Dark Side of the Moon and smiled.

    Good for him for calling him out. More people should stand up and call them what they are. I think we need this for a lot of holier than thou folks. Next I want to hear from the guy who was Fred Phelps’ (of the infamous http://www.godhatesfags.com ) butt buddy and how much Fred enjoyed it…especially with a reach around back in his college days : )

    fabulous! I just hope it’s real….

    I’d pay BIG for pictures of Fred Phelps prancing around in drag with his lover, smoking a big fattie!

    That letter made me smile. I can’t wait for Coleman’s (non)response.

    DEA agent Robert Stutman,’Americans are not ready to make another mistake like we did with alcohol and tobacco’

    Wow. So the premise apparently is that everything is forbidden until the government sees fit to legalize it?
