Christian Science Monitor now Fair and Balanced on the debate over legalizing?
I am just having my tea this morning and I am a bit weird-ed out.
I am not used to the Christian Science Monitor having a Pro and Con debate.
I am used to seeing just the conservative point of view.
I have been trying to keep up on the opposition to prop 19 and keep my mind active on the events of change.
My curiosity has been raised a bit due to the lack of organized anti-pot protests although we do have some.
Oddly the only "nuclear-bomb" article came in the form of some really Old School "Cold-war" type of opposition by the California chamber of Commerce that seem to be written by someone who had been in cryogenic stasis and thawed out to write an anti-marijuana piece not taking time to come to terms with the current times. Written in a tone straight out of the early 1980's rather than in a tone of our current political reality it painted a picture wild parties instead of hard work on the job. Rather a humorous situation from the point of view of responsible employees until loss of economic security is facing one in the face because they had cannabis on a day off but not on work days and an employer is requiring some hair, blood and urine to enforce their will on the employee and in turn society.
So here we are with the Christian Science Monitor and a possible balanced debate.
In 2010 we have murders and outright war in Mexico where millions of dollars of profits change hands to supply the USA's demand for Drug products including Cannabis.
In California a strong gathering of diverse lifestyles are poised to share a common cause in November and that may authorize a form of Legalization in the Voter Initiative Prop 19.
I follow as many Internet articles as is reasonable and I do see the opposition is slowly joining us now with sensible debate.
I have a hunch that this "fair and balanced" approach come form the reality that among the pro-cannabis community there is not solidarity and it is in print for everyone to read.
My current outlook is we ( Internet people ) have accomplished what is necessary in democracy. That we should discuss and debate and consider our decisions carefully.
Now if we can just get everyone to put down their swords on November 2 and encourage all to go vote no mater what side we are on.
So do register and do go vote.
