Colorado State Patrol wasting money and time prosecuting a rude gesture.

by David K. Williams, Jr. | 3:11 pm, May 26, 2011

Colorado State Troopers are spending your tax money prosecuting someone that made a rude gesture to them. Yep, that is right. Thin-skinned traffic cops clearly have too much time and resources on their hands if they have time and resources to spend on …

I created quite the discussion thread on Facebook, by asserting that there is no social contract, not even metaphorically. This upsets some people and they responded, in essence, that I am wrong. For example, it was asserted that we “consent” to our go…

Thomas Jefferson on those useless paper phone books we all throw away.

It is the time of year when several unwanted, large phone books covered with refrigerator magnets start arriving on our door steps. Some say the government needs to step in and stop the waste of the unwanted delivery of phone books. You may have heard …

This is about state sovereignty, not medical marijuana

by David K. Williams, Jr. | 9:43 am, February 13, 2010

As the Denver Post reports, “Major metro grower jailed,” federal agents have asserted their authority, primacy and superiority over its mere subjects in the district of Colorado.

I say “district,” because states have rights. Districts are mere political subdivisions of, and exist at the whim of, the larger federal government.

Last night the feds, asserting their supremacy, arrested a man who was in full compliance with Colorado state law.

With the federal government’s decision to completely ignore the Colorado Constitution and assert its statutes, any semblance of Colorado autonomy has been crushed.

=====

Lest there be any doubt, Special Agent Jeffrey Sweetin, who is in charge of the DEA’s office in Denver, was very clear:

“Technically, every dispensary in the state is in blatant violation of federal law. The time is coming when we go into a dispensary, we find out what their profit is, we seize the building and we arrest everybody. They’re violating federal law; they’re at risk of arrest and imprisonment.”

And you thought the Governor, state legislature and state Supreme Court had some say what goes on in Colorado.

Not if the feds decide they do not like it.

====

TAKE ACTION

Remember, this is not about medical marijuana. It is about Colorado sovereignty.

In a polite, reasoned manner, tell the feds you do not appreciate them stepping into a Colorado law enforcement matter. Tell them if they have enough time and money to spend usurping Colorado’s sovereignty to enforce federal policy, they have too much time and money.

Tell them to leave us alone. We can handle our own business.

Big Brother in a windbreaker

by David K. Williams, Jr. | 9:40 am, February 13, 2010

Little Brother had an idea, but he knew his big brother did not approve.

Little Brother went ahead and tried it, but tried to keep it small so as not to bring undue attention to himself. Big Brother eventually noticed, however, but said, “sure, Little Brother, go ahead and play with your little idea, I don’t care.”

Little Brother, no longer concerned about undue attention, really expanded his idea. He still had lots of issues to work out, but he felt he could work them out eventually.

Well, Big Brother decided one day he did not like Little Brother’s idea any more. So he stepped in and stopped it. Just like that.

He does not need a reason. He is Big Brother.

======

This is exactly what has happened in Colorado and its burgeoning medical marijuana industry.

And Big Brother is not in a fairy tale or contained in an Orwell novel. He wears a windbreaker with “DEA” across the back in yellow letters.

See “Major metro grower jailed.“

We are frogs in a pot of water. Is it getting warmer in here?
