[geeks] Marijuana Legalization

[Hicheal Morton]

The point of my comment was that people are mis-judging the Democrats.

While they proclaim to support free speech, they limit it, destroy it, and
crush it EVERY opportunity they get.

This myth of the Democratic party and officials thereof should be recognized
and dealt with.

To address Republicans, which was not the the original poster of the
Democrat fallacy or my comments, is a red herring!

Be careful! Or you will take sides.  I am not calling for that.  I am
calling for actual and true free speech.  My affinity group will be happy to
accept all the guff that is given if speech is actually and truly free.

By the way, I am not a Republican or a Democrat.  In Tennessee (where I
live) there is no official party affiliation!  Thank Goodness!
