@Tobor: You came off a bit rude and combative--this is not the way to get someone to want to have a political discussion with you. I have a lot of experience with this being the very liberal son of conservative parents. If you really want to change things the way you say--it behooves you to approach others in a way conducive to opening, rather than closing, minds.
@SME: I see where the due was coming from a bit. I'm not certain if you realize or not, but your first comment about the guy being a nut-job sort of begs for more detail. I don't meant that your point wasn't clear--but the way you framed that sort of leaves the reader wanting more (especially a reader that disagrees with you). That said, I understand why you reacted the way you did to Tobor--he came out of the gates swinging. To be fair though, the first thing I thought when I read what you said (having not checked the guys page out or anything) was, "I wonder why SME thinks the guy is a nut job, he hasn't really explained that."
To say he is some sort of fringe nut-job is pathetic slander.
Now I usually just ignore trolls, but this SME person is a real jerk for acting this way and ruining an interesting discussion. Some friendly advice, drop the threats to veteran forum members, and try to get your post count to where more than 2/3rds aren't trolling this same thread. Or better yet, just go away..
[edit] Would it be reasonable to request a mod clean this up so we can start the subject over without interference?
He's my Doc and a friend of the family. The guy is far from a "nut job"! This guy really knows cannabis inside and out. He does fantastic things for the movement.
I'm the one who said it appears that he's a bit too focused on MMJ, and I stand by that. I'm not familiar with him, this is looking in from the outside. How do I know he's fiscally responsible? What assurances would I have that he would represent me well with regard to, say, land use issues? School issues? How about zoning issues? Would he be able to detect, and address, malfeasance within local government effectively?Regarding comments that he might be 'too' focused on mmj, I think that's really short sighted (and wrong). Don't forget, mmj is the number one issue to the people he is asking to elect him, and the subject is becoming tied to almost every quality of life discussion in that congressional district. To say he is some sort of fringe nut-job is pathetic slander.

Unfortunately, politics is exactly what this thread is about when we're discussing a candidate for a public office or seat.I'm not into debating politics, but Seamaiden if you decide to familiarize yourself with Courtney, I bet you'll be surprised, and probably impressed. He's much more than just pro-mmj. Frankly, I wish I lived in a place with more politicians from an intellectual background like his. IMO a first step toward political progress would be to vote more compassionate and trustworthy people into public office as quickly as possible while removing corporate patronage for the corrupt sociopathic evil that it is.
Lead, nice video. I see they are using the CI site now, so maybe that explains why leavesofgrass faded away.
