We definitely need more green everywhere and we need it yesterday!
Thanks for the posts, Bud. I\'ve always thought that the entire idea of ownership of the land is a frivolous one that has little to do with stewardship of the earth and everything to do with power-over. What we need is a \"power-with\" worldview, so that the fences and barriers can be torn down physically and politically. We must open up to each other and become good neighbors, sharing our resources and renewing the biosphere. Practical ways to do that: shared gardens, shared backyards and yards, co-housing, real community-based ventures and projects.
I like to think of this currency as knowledge, resources, abilities, art through which we learn to change into a greener lifestyle. Thanks for reading and furthering the movement into a sustainable paradigm for us all!
Let us hope that the massive number of people, ideas, & dialogue generated by the pro-legalization folks makes a difference. Here's to hope :D
Thanks for dropping by and for such a FAB comment!
Thanks for commenting, Mark. I think with jury nullification, juries can literally create law by rejecting an unjust law. Jury nullification is the great hidden secret of judicial law in the USA and has great potential to reshape contemporary jurisprudence if used wisely by jurors.
Thanks for commenting Lori, please see my response to finkydink above.
Thanks for commenting, finkydink. I think that's a generalization that may be inaccurate. I know numerous elders who knew the propaganda was originally false or who have learned better through life experience that marijuana is not harmful and has many beneficial uses. As a Boomer (I'm 55 in April!), virtually every one of my friends and acquaintances is in favor of legalization.
Thanks for commenting. The massive attention and publicity surrounding the marijuana legalization efforts at the federal and state levels is RISING UP from the people, by the people, and is for the people.
