   We were supposed to host Denver Police Commander Ret., Tony Ryan. But Tony had a death in the family, & had to cancel. However, he postponed to 4-1-10, & we're looking forward to that meeting very much.

   We had a great discussion anyway, re: The War on Drugs, which is an Un-American, Anti-Freedom Fiasco!! I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this subject here. I want to remind everyone to please show up for Tony's arrival, Thursday, 4-1-10, 7:30am.

   But I do want to cover a few points from our discussion of 3-11, which lasted until I "had to break things up" at about 10:30 or so. I started by saying that I was a warrior in the "WAR on DRUGS", but on the losing side! I was arrested in 1974, in a small patch of Marijuana that I was growing.

   I went to trial in Westminster, Maryland, in the spring of 1975, facing 6 charges & possibly 26 years in prison. I had a Public Defender, who did a great job, up against a young fascist prosecutor, looking to make a reputation as a "tough on crime" goon, which most stupid Americans, especially in rural Maryland, just love.

   I got off with unsupervised probation! My college friends & I all thought that "Pot'll be legalized" in the next few years, surely by 1980 or '85. Wow were we wrong. Ronnie Reagan & his fascist thugs came to power, & that was the end of any real hope for at least 3 decades for any sensible drug policy in America. But Americans are too stupid in general to really deserve freedom in the first place. So Screw US!!

   (Hey they fooled me: I voted for Ronnie in 1980, because he "looked me in the eye -- via the TV camera -- & said: "I'm gonna balance the Federal Budget in my first term". What a lie that was, & what a freakin' mistake I made in believing the liar!!)

   Ronnie, Nancy & the astrologer corps turned the country over to the "Religious Right", who are really nothing but a bunch of god-squad "control freaks", who talk a lot of Bull Shit about "freedom", when all they really want is the freedom to jam a Theocracy down the throats of everyone else. They're the closest thing to Hitler & the Storm-Troopers we've ever had in America.

   A case in point is AZ legislator Russell Pearce. He's an Ex-cop, jack booted thug, who'd like to "lock up" even more people than the Criminal "IN-Justice" system does already. I've heard the guy speak twice on the subject of the Drug War, & he brags about "locking people up & taking away their home & cars, if I could find just one Marijuana seed & could get it to germinate"!

   Russell Pearce deserves to be "planted in the ground", because he's a fascist pig, & has ruined countless lives in his reckless pursuit of innocent people, who hurt no one, as they use recreational drugs, on their own time, to no one's peril. Russell Pearce is an evil symbol of what's wrong with America today:

   We incarcerate millions of people for "committing" what are simply "victim less crimes", in the name of "law & order". The real force behind this is really, to quote the historian James Burke: "Religion in Action"! Just because religious nuts can't stand the idea of "those people" having a good time, engaged in sex they don't approve of, or using drugs they don't use (at least without a prescription), they feel it only right to "just lock 'em up"!

   This screwed up mentality has cost our once great nation, (that now deserves to be hated by our own citizens & the rest of the world), billions of wasted dollars, & ruined millions of innocent lives. Russell Pearce & his ilk are some of the most evil people in America. These hideous creeps should be "planted in the ground", "before their time", so that they destroy less lives, & cost us less treasure. If there's a god in heaven, people like Russell Pearce should burn in Hell.

   Please show up 4-1-10 (Thursday, 7:30am) to hear a real Patriot, Tony Ryan, Retired Denver Police Commander, make the case for Ending the Un-American, Anti-Freedom, War on Drugs!!

   Have a nice day!
