I’d be willing to wager, he left with full retirement, benefits, whole 9 yards to boot, since he was allowed to resign, instead of being prosecuted for trolling for little boys.

30 day 12 step rehab to the rescue.

If he is out riding his bike, I wouldn’t be surprised if he spent extra time riding by park playgrounds.

Some chairman of House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children he turned out to be.

Foley was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, which introduced legislation targeting sexual predators and created stricter guidelines for tracking them.

I can easily imagine him and Souder planning "an inside job". A big time narc infiltration? I can see him doing that easier than I can see him coming to his senses.

"There's a man with a gun over there. Telling me I've got to beware. Stop. Listen. What's that sound?"

He does look like the Grinch trying to disguise himself as Santa Claus.

You pour out Spirit into that mess, and you've just wasted your blessings, burned the oil in your lamps.

We need to build a new house, and the idea of building it on the crumbling foundations of the old is just stupid in my mind. New foundations need to be laid, and the old failed systems are going to have to be ultimately discarded.

I would like to start building. The 'materials' are available in the form of the fresh perspective of sincere youth, and the experience of some of their elders, but the rubble of ancient ignorance still occupies the place where the new will be built -the hearts and minds of mankind.

I will not allow one part of the New to be wasted on useless attempts to 'patch up' the old, if I can help it.

Lest there be any confusion; I believe (with evidence) that the New Wine represented by YSHWH's teaching and example, has yet to be poured out, but the barrels are full in 'God's wine cellar' just waiting for the people to let go of the dross, and the spoiled vinegar that currently fills their metaphorical glasses.

Woof, Woof, Woof!

I find it odd that this story would appear today, from Georgia.

The story, to me, as an "edge" that makes me think they've been sitting on it for some time... and they choose now, the day after the so called, "flip-flopping", (And that "flip-flopping" business, in itself, is a huge insult among them, they release it.

Thanks, that’s good to know. For now though, this machine is under warranty. I have two hard drives setup in a RAID configuration. They mirror each other, if I lose one; I still have an identical twin. One of them is failing. They sent me through a diagnostics procedure that ran all night; I estimate about 16 hrs. worth. I still haven’t fixed it entirely, but when I call back with the error codes, I suspect they will offer a new hard drive. They said they might even send someone out to install it. So far the tech guys have been ok. I’ve had to do a lot of stuff (grid stuff) and will have a full plate for a few more days. I just hope the other drive doesn’t fail in the meantime.

I had to rebuild the data on the same drive that is failing now, about 6 months ago, which took about 2 hrs, and was fine up till a week ago. That is why the tech guy wanted that long test to run.

I built my last computer and got about 5 years out of it, and it still works today but no longer connected to Internet. A hard drive failed in it, so I took that as a hint and bought the one I have now already assembled from the factory, it arrived like 2 or 3 days after ordering it. I would have liked to have built another one but time was closing in on me and didn’t have the proper time for research for parts, current configuration types, chip sets, where to order, and all that stuff, and meet my deadlines all at the same time.

But anywho, it still works, if I can get by until about Tuesday, I think everything will be okay.

Microsoft A+ trained. Cool. I know a few “truly gnarly old dudes” that are certified. I was in line for that, but fate dragged me off in another direction. I attended some classes at the local community collage a few years back. It was cool, and kinda odd at the same time. I was the oldest one in the crowd, older than some of the instructors. But I couldn’t finish for reasons beyond my control. Got A’s too.

Hole In My Mind - Nice Video, bride really liked it too.

I’m thinkn’ “Fruits of Labor”…….

FoM, Toker00, and all the other fine C-News people: puppy on its way!!! :::::-))))) (handstands, cartwheels, & shouting from the rooftops) I think… So far, it’s a go…. details later...

Have to split now, off to the grind…

There is only one God. No religion. Only Righteousness. The World has been deceived by the Business of Religion. The Love of Money over the Love of God, The Love of Religion over the Love of Righteousness. No wonder the world perishes.

No, I mean you are right about wasting our time with the Pols. and Governments in general. They will NEVER make the changes we need, and in a hurry! My respect.

For example, treatment instead of caging can be forced treatment to avoid caging; it can be chemical antagonists that deactivate cannabis spirituality. Or treatment can be voluntary for those who really require it.

This grow-op business will be easily defused by allowing individual cultivation. The intellectual property with patents is a nightmare scenario that spits in the face of cannabis spirituality. When governments stop spying on gardeners, there will be no need to steal electricity, rip-off gardens, set booby traps or use harmful chemicals.

God said that cannabis is good. The Marihuana Tax Act and the Controlled Substances Act are diabolical domination bent on destroying our culture and suppressing minorities. The side effects are illnesses of human and animal, deprived of the natural balancing that cannabinoids provide. The destruction of freedom, family and livelihood are heinous insults to the American Dream and to true patriots, like Jerry.

This impaired driving red herring is yet another flight of political control, masquerading as safety, when actually it is devoid of scientific basis, like the Schedules of the CSA.

The following articles and LTEs demonstrate the complexity of getting reformed prohibitionists to "see the light":

The Sacred Spirit comes to those who gather to seek, express, and experience the Sacred - but the danger is in mere men defining the parameters of God. Mere men restricting access through enforced ignorance, to those truths that I believe all honest people truly seek.

No one human can define the parameters of God. Those who attempt to do so, are the founders of religion. Religion is a box, and the Church subscribes to the box theory.

I read where they discourage Neil from watching the news everyday. The article said he gets upset and a song comes to his mind so he has to watch how much he tunes in to news. I believe that's true.

I thought I'd offer proof that it was really me singing those songs, and that I am truly a gnarly old dude.

It has always been a wonder and a marvel to me, how the churches have posessed such incredible knowledge and wisdom, for so many thousands of years, but have neither taught nor embraced it, except in rare individual cases, often unknown, and certainly kept out of the spotlight.

In our Academy that frequents my house, I often hear the phrase "my generation" in an eerily Deja-Vu kind of way. The other night we discussed 'generationalism' and what the differences might be between the current, and the latter WWII generation that is leaving us.

The wisdom of the next generation, as far as I can see is directly proportunate to the wisdom of the parenting generation, and in a lot of cases, contrary to the 'generation gap' of the '60's on, that 'parental wisdom' is paying off. These kids understand the "'60's" better than a lot of my peers who claimed to be part of it.

The only danger I see, is if our generation makes the same mistake as the preceding, and refuses to give credibility to these young vital minds that are grasping eagerly for the truth.

Like they did with tobacco; you could smoke it all you wanted, but growing or selling it without special expensive permits from the government, was and is illegal, punishable by fines and or imprisonment.

This is the thing I have always feared about some of the ways cannabis legalization has compromised it's stance with prohibition, in order to make any progress at all.

If they can regulate it, they can create a 'commercial' 'marijuana cigarette' that not only will be low potency -the government can legislate that like they did acohol content- but they'll probably put some kind of chemical in it that will prove once and for all that 'marijuana' is addictive.

Here's the thing; I don't know how many great ideas, great inventions, and great discoveries have become the real, and intellectual property of those few who had the 'investment capital' while the ordinary inventors, discoverers, and creators get left in the dust of history -written always by the 'successful' and the 'victorious.'

If we allow these cretinous politicians access to our soul -the freedom to medicate, or to fly -depending on ones personal preference-, then we have sold that soul to the highest bidder. I think people better start holding their so-called 'representatives' to some higher standards -not the appearances, and lip-service of contemporary poliics.

When are we going to elect some non-rich, non-law-schooled, non-'highly educated', non-professional, normal ordinary people, instead of this exclusive club that's been in power about 10,000 years too long?

It’s not entirely fixed yet, but it is still working. Tech guys on phone are helping. We ran a test that took about 16 hrs. and found bad hard drive data. Still needs corrected but I can’t work on it until I get a bunch of other stuff finished. They said the computer safe to use untill I can get back with them.

Bob Barr. Wow!!!

Computer problems kept me out of touch for a while. This was the first thing I saw. Man what a surprise???

Bob Barr??? A converted drug warrior??? A high level one at that…

Well I sure don’t know what’s up here. Maybe he has a real change of heart, maybe not. If he found that what he was doing was counter productive and decided to persuade in changing of the laws, I will welcome him, and hear what he has to say, but more importantly, watch what he can do, and actually does. Time will show us.

Is he doing this for his last hurrah in his political life? Is he doing this for payday, notoriety? Don’t forget this mans record. If he can put forth the energy he used in the past, and help turn things around, it is another much needed strong voice. Others will follow too if this works out right.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope we have turned a few heads with common sense and compassion. There is just very little faith in politicians to do the Right thing, because when they do, it's usually for some sinister reward for themselves.

My take on Barr, watch his feet not his mouth now. We'll see how much effort he puts to overturn his slap in the face amendment to 69% of the voters he slapped way back when...

Anyone want to discuss Jonathan Magpie now, Bob? Ever hear of him? You got blood on your hands Bob Barr, in my opinion & I would tell it right to your face.

Check his investment port-folio and you WILL understand.

High, Hope, you too!

Next thing you know, Souder and the rest of them will see the truth and the errors of their ways... finally.

Every knee must bow.

BUT, there's this one small problem. MILLIONS of lives have been destroyed. Millions of people have lost carreers due to this inquisition. Hundreds of thousands of people are in prison - as we speak - for doing something that harmed no one.

I don't know. Maybe it's just going to take some time for me to adjust to this change happening without anyone taking responsibility. Bob Barr was one of those people in my mind.

Yes. If it was possible to re-legalize by leaving a briefcase with a million in cash on Dick Cheney's doorstep, I would be the first to start raising money.

You have to give people an exit strategy. That's where the reconciliation part comes in.

I have always felt that we should remember who the hard-core prohibitionists were, even after the end of prohibition. These people have shown themselves to be the lowest of the low, feeding off the misery of the destruction of innocent people.

I will NEVER forget what suffering these people have inflicted on millions of Americans. Not only do they have a lot to answer for, they need to be prevented from EVER having a position of public trust again!

Look what happened with Nixon's crime associates. They've been helping Bush out &($%#ing the American people yet again!

He could. Whether he will or not, is another question.

He could make taking them with him to those talk shows a requirement for him to appear. He could...but....

How many miracles can a person expect to happen in one day?

It's miraculous looking, already.

Barr? Standing with us?

It's so danged hard to comprehend.

Next thing you know, Souder and the rest of them will see the truth and the errors of their ways... finally.

Reckon?

It's a real possibility.

I wish a few of these guys would see the light when they are at the height of their power and at large in their political careers.

I guess the reason is right there.....no longer is it political suicide once your congressional career is over.

Far left hand column.

Welcome Bob Barr, next, he'll be a 9-11 Truther!

This is great news, notice the pRe-pubes are NOT coming to Gonzo's and Fredo sides?

The War on some drugs, the War on Cannabis, looks like it has reached it's logical conclusion, the END!

This one is for Mayan, as Gonzo-gate has brought attention to the pedophile scandal in Texas, wait til Colbert gets' a hold of this 'ass'pect of the Attorney General 'Purge'!

Gross!

Yet, though appropro! This little covered story will make the MSM soon, if we keep it up there!

http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/ politics/stories/MYSA032707.01A.tyc.36c43f7.html

And this on the 2008 Elections:

In January, General Services Administration chief Lurita Doan and Karl Rove deputy Scott Jennings held a video conference with top GSA political appointees, “who discussed ways to help Republican candidates.”

Jennings, the White House’s deputy director of political affairs, gave a PowerPoint presentation on Jan. 26 of polling data about the 2006 elections.

When Jennings concluded his presentation to the GSA political appointees, Doan allegedly asked them how they could “help ‘our candidates’ in the next elections.”

The Hatch Act explicitly prohibits partisan campaign activities on federal property.

And this all leads to the reason for the purge, to steal the elections of 2008, it's all on AirAmerica.com right now!

Roves' PowerPoint Presentation Revealed During Oversight Hearing

This story will lead to the unraveling of all that is toxic about bush, his cronies, and they will all have to be investigated, arrested and incarcerated soon!

The Universal 'Truth' will see to it!

I'll say! What unbelievable news!

I was thinking just a few minutes ago about how he treated Jackie and Gary and Cheryl and Jim. I was going to post and got distracted.

I can see all those things happening. I can see this being remarkably good...and, also...as nothing but a "blip".

*Deep breath* ( Lol! No. Not a *toke*)

2002 NLP Political Ad featuring Cheryl Miller

(1) It helps to revitalize a flagging public dialog about the ethics and morality (or lack thereof) of the drug war,

(2) It serves to convince others of his ilk to reconsider their own stances on this subject,

(3) It leads to greater general acceptance of the arguments in favor of medical marijuana, and/or

(4) It leads to greater success in state-by-state and national campaigns to end the war on cannabis, particularly when it is used for medicinal purposes.

If it leads to none of these outcomes, it will be just another human interest story, a blip on the radar. In short, I will reserve my judgment about it until its effects can be observed and properly evaluated.

Dan B

It just came to me when I had this sudden desire to do a little joyful victory dance.

I do feel real love and affection towards the man, easily, with this news.

I hope he's really had some sort of epiphany and has come to his senses. Of course...perhaps he's just trying to "infiltrate" us.

I do love to see a man saved. A man rescued and brought into the light...saved...though every hair on his head be burned off...he's rescued...as though through fire.

I hope so.
