WOMAN IN FATAL CRASH: IT COULD'VE BEEN ANYONE

Re Anna Marie Jackson: It could have been any one of us. It was a total
accident. But because some Nazi makes a living pounding his hand with
his fist, we all are at risk.

There is absolutely no proof that marijuana in this woman's system had
anything to do with this terrible accident. I imagine there are very
few of us, including the Nazis, who haven't driven the day after
getting high on something. But stooges are bribed and threatened to
maintain the insane war on drugs, to keep the huge profits caused by
prohibition flowing to organized crime, terrorists, drug kingpins, the
CIA.

If judges informed jurors of their right, power and duty to decide the
validity of particular laws, as well as the facts of the case, we
probably wouldn't have nearly the outrageous injustice as occurred in
this case. Instead, judges routinely dictate verdicts by telling
jurors how they may or may not think, speak and vote.

Thanks to liberals and conservatives alike, our wonderful form of
government is but a shadow of its former self. We are teetering on the
brink of a police state. We must elect true libertarians, if it's not
already too late.
