Free Marc EmerySubmitted by Bill St. Clair on Wed, 2005-08-03 07:00.
From smith2004:
"Maybe we should propose a Constitutional Amendment? # Dana Larsen at Cannabis Culture Magazine - 5 things you can do to help Marc Emery - Call Irwin Cotler, Canada's Justice Minister, regularly, write to Canadian newspapers and magazines weekly, donate to the BC Marijuana Party, subscribe to Cannabis Culture magazine, buy products other than seeds, write to Canadian media, and if you live in Canada, contact your MP & MLA regularly and rally in your community. Please call each of these three phone numbers twice every week, and politely repeat your message every time. The goal is to keep these lines constantly tied up with calls and voice mails about Marc Emery, so that the Justice Department phones are ringing steadily about the Emery case every day for the next few months. # Canadian Press - Pot activist Marc Emery granted bail - well at least he'll be free to fight his extradition. If extradicted, he faces 10 years to life in U.S. prison. For selling seeds to people who wanted them. More news links via Google. Watch the U.S. Marijuana Party, BC Marijuana Party, and Cannabis Culture sites for updates. [google] # Nicki Felenzer - The Weapon - a review of Michael Z. Williamson's The Weapon (click for excerpts and order links), the second novel in the Freehold universe. [nicki] I've always loved watching the transition military enlistees make from civilians to warriors. I underwent that change myself upon completing my military training. Your attitude changes. You become stronger, more secure and more disciplined. The more you train, the more self assured you become. It's a fascinating and somewhat startling evolution that is presented in breathtaking intensity and clarity in "The Weapon." # Charlie Demerjian at the Inquirer - Zfone secures VoIP - explains how Phil Zimmerman's new Voice over IP product prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.

QuotesEvery man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission. -- L. Neil Smith Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason, then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings. -- L. Neil Smith Based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some of its own empirical work, the panel couldn't identify a single gun control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide or accidents. -- John Lott, commenting on the National Academy of Sciences report (PDF) on gun control laws Zero Aggression Principle ("Zap") "A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim." -- L. Neil Smith Formerly called the "Non-Aggression Principle", or "NAP" Why Did It Have to be... Guns? Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put. If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you. If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims. What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him? -- L. Neil Smith "Tell me," I was once asked, "What do you think about gun control? Give me the short answer." To which I replied, "If you try to take our firearms we will kill you." -- Mike Vanderboegh Also from The Atlanta Declaration: ... like going to the bathroom, breathing, eating, sleeping, or making love, it turns out that self-defense is a bodily function one cannot safely or effectively delegate to a second party. -- L. Neil Smith This does not mean that "Marijuana should be available by prescription." It means that morphine sulfate should be available in five pound bags at the supermarket for a couple of bucks, like sugar... but probably in a different aisle, to avoid confusion. -- Vin Suprynowicz The state can only survive as long as a majority is programmed to believe that theft isn't wrong if it's called taxation or asset forfeiture or eminent domain, that assault and kidnapping isn't wrong if it's called arrest, that mass murder isn't wrong if it's called war. -- Bill St. Clair TTLB |
