"We ask you to explain what you want from us, what we should try to publish or not publish, so we know what to expect," it added. [More]
What can you expect?

You can expect to be slaves, used or disposed of as the monsters whose boots you lick wish. It seems a role you have accepted.

How can you change that?

Demand freedom. Kill your oppressors. Make them stop.

You'll need some tools to get started that your rulers don't want you to have.

They're trying to take them from us, too, and using your sorry lot as an excuse, but we won't let them. And because we have those tools, and because there are enough of us, they're afraid to try it all at once.

"Demand freedom. Kill your oppressors. Make them stop."

That is the answer no matter where you live and no matter who your oppressors are. And no matter what "laws" your oppressors may have imposed to protect their oppressive hides. Vermin are vermin no matter what silly hat they wear.

The biggest newspaper in Mexico's most violent city is to restrict drug war coverage

sort of like how MSNBC and the others don't show pictures of what's happening to iraqis and afghanis, huh?

the state is what it is, whether it's a narco-state or a military-industrial-state.

And there's a lot of people who read these blogs, who think the answer is to legalize drugs, and the gangs and the problems will all go away. And what highly agressive gang, armed to the teeth, rolling in cash, has ever meekly gone away after a law is passed?

I'm one of them, Sean. When was the last time the Johnny Walker boys did a drive-by on Jim Beam for turf infringement?

At least when the feds did Prohibition, they knew they had no Constitutional authority so they passed an amendment to get that delegated power. Care to point to the specific clause-as opposed to the same contorted twistings and interpretations they use for every other usurpation--where they get to do the same thing with drugs?

As far as big armed to the teeth gangs with plenty of money go...

When I was young, I saw a documentary on hyenas. The dominant female in the pack had another female rolled on her back whining and exposing her soft underbelly in submission. As the subordinate female licked the alpha female and simpered and whined, the dominant female went to the subordinate female's nesting area and killed her pups one by one, carrying them to the subordinate female and dropping them in front of her. More fawning, more licking until all were dead.
I was moved to tears. My friend thought something was wrong with me. Maybe I just understood better that it's not only the lower animals who are capable of this behavior.

I was going to tell Sean to look at Prohibition, and how the gang problems disappeared, at least from the booze market, once booze was legal again. However, the gangs didn't disappear; they just moved to another illegal market.

The marijuana users I knew briefly in high school did it because 1) each had suffered some kind of tragic event in their young lives from which they couldn't recover. Raped by their father, beaten by their mother, abandoned, neglected, inherited a biochemical depressive or anxiety disorder... 2) Not getting caught was part of the high. They literally laughed at the laws. It was a game of cat and mouse. 3) If they didn't have pot they stole alcohol or sniffed glue or paint solvent. They were willing to risk brain, kidney, lung and liver damage to escape their pain for a little while.
One of their little group had to do something for a real, dangerous criminal to get the marijuana. They were willing to take THAT risk too.
Half of everyone has at least tried marijuana, despite all the laws. Who's supporting the laws, then?
An email from some Tea Party members says they're worried about unmarried couples "living together in sin." A candidate somewhere said pregnant rape victims should "make lemonade out of a lemon situation" -- presumably if the CONTROVERSIAL "morning after" contraceptive she gets in the EMERGENCEY ROOM fails to work -- rather than have an early-term dilation-and-curretage.
Even the 1950s weren't the "good old days" of "
Leave it to Beaver.
Humans should not be herded. The unintended consequences are usually bad.
The movie "Independence Day" has the president talking to an alien invader (of the interstellar kind).
"Can there not be peace between us?"
"No peace."
"What is it you want us to do?"
"Diiiie."

This is pure unadulterated CRAP! This is coming out of a country where the private ownership of firearms is prohibited.

Those in government and elsewhere in the US who believe our right to keep and bear arms and our right to self defense are antiquated and should be legislated away are a bunch of damned fools.
