Hmm. Well, I guess the Republicans are not for taking care of our budget like they keep saying they are. They complain about Obama spending then they themselves go spend. People, (we the people) need ot WAKE UP! Republicans...Democrats... NEITHER SIDE IS FOR HELPING AND REPRESENTING US!!!

The military considers 'attack' and 'defense' to be the same

People are dumb so it must be OK.....

From how the article read, it seems like they were talking nationally...Pot is not legal nationally.. In fact, there are far more states that deal with pot harshly, then those that say you can use it medically. Then, of course, federally its still illegal...so...how is it more accessible then...oh 20 years ago??

But their not and no one is going to... People are going to vote for a DEM or a REP. One of these sides if going to give us a president for the next 4 years.

Unless people vote for a Third Party member, we are NOT holding the DEMS and the REPS accountable: its just business as usual and BOTH Parties are betting on this.

"Diane Cowling, who later moved to Lake Stevens, said she had multiple medical problems all at once - including diabetes and breast cancer - at the same time her union went on strike.

She said that left her with no money to feed and care for her pets, and she claimed she could not find an animal shelter that would accept them."

Very sad: for hte animals AND for her.

It sounds like life became horrible so suddenly for her. I am sorry for those animals and her. It sounds like her life was a not a good one either.

"We dont need more laws, we need harsher punishments to deter people from the problem in the first place."

That never works, sorry. I mean, our judicial system has a death penalty and people still get murdered every day.

You know why that happens? Because of the black market. People buy their pot from people who also sell crack, meth, cocaine...ect. Those drugs are MUCH more profitable and VERY addictive. One use and you are hooked on the harder drugs.

So, drug dealers try and get you on the other stuff: more money to be made that way and a guarantee you will keep buying. Go look it up for yourself.

People try and say pots a gateway drug but never actually finish their thought process and wonder WHY it is.

How do you get out of debt?? Stop spending, start saving and if possible, earn more. (work over time, get an extra job, whatever.)

So, Government, take a look at your budget and do some cuts ALONG with ending the tax cuts the upper class has had since the beginning of Bush's first term.

As for where to cut spending?? I say we cut from the section that is spending the most. Don't know what that is? How about you look it up. Hint: Pentagon.

Zimmerman is currently in custody and facing charges? Huh, I thought he was released that night.....

Where are you getting your info? Source??
