We didnt become our own country by listening to our (at the time) government, we didnt give those who are different than the white male equal rights by listening to our government, and we sure as hell didnt listen when they tried to take our alcohol away... If you want change in this country you have to fight for it regardless of the risk or repercussion. Im sure theres many out there that are willing to join rallies or protests and such if only someone else has the balls to start them.. And im sure there are people who could give a shit less either way that would be willing to tolerate legalization if they werent worried that people would think of them as a criminal.. Imagine how much better the economy would be if felonies were lifted for marijuana offenses.. I bet you would see that unemployment number drop dramatically!
