The problem is:
Bill Mahar is right; we live in a country where the populous is too uneducated to make a sane and rational decision !
Maybe Obama might want to reform education next, after a good Health Care Law with a strong Public Option !
He might want to atart in South Carolina and Mississippi. I believe that they are rated 49 & 50 educationally. A glaring statistic isn’t it. Says a lot about people like Haley Barber and Governor (gone hiking on the Appalachian trail) Sanford. Says a lot about the people too ! I’ll bet that the rain never hits them in the eyes !

This quote is apocryphal. According to Michael Aldrich, it was begun many years ago by Ron Siegel, based on a story told him by a musician. Michael had Markus Storz check up on it at the Hohner company museum in Germany. Turns out that Hohner didn’t start selling harmonicas in the US until after Lincoln was dead, years later. Sorry to bust this great story, too bad it isn’t true!

“Prohibition. . . goes beyond the bound of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded” -Abraham Lincoln

This quote is also apocryphal. It was invented by Georgia anti-prohibitionists long after Lincoln’s death to stir up support among blacks.

It was investigated by a Lincoln scholar at the request of Ollie Steinberg of the Minnesota Grassroots party. Like Mark, he found no record of any speech by Lincoln on the alleged date (Dec 18, 1840).

I’ve been told that according to the Home Book of Quotations (16th edition), it was fabricated in the 1880s – apparently by anti-Prohibitionists in Atlanta courting the Negro vote. Lincoln was well-known for his temperance sympathies. According to Herbert Asbury’s “The Great Illusion,” he authored a dry law modeled on the Maine law, which was rejected by Illinois voters in a special referendum on June 4, 1855. He was also alleged to have authored and signed a total abstinence pledge in 1846. According to temperance authorities, Lincoln was reluctant to sign the 1862 whiskey tax that helped fund the Civil War, on grounds it would condone the liquor trade. According to a temperance leader who spoke with him on the day of his assassination, Lincoln predicted that the next great question after slavery would be abolition of the traffic in legalized liquor.

can you guys believe the scientific study these assclown prohibitionists site from the BRAINDEAD reagan era?

some evil scientists pretty much gased to death two poor monkeys. wow what a trip it must have been for them to be derprived oxygent and forced to inhale 200 freakin j’s worth of cannabis all at once. insane. may their ashes rest in peach.
One decades-old study continues to fuel claims that cannabis use causes cerebral damage. Two unwitting rhesus monkeys were exposed to 200 times the normal human dose of THC, administered through a constant cloud of smoke. However, in a more recent study, rhesus monkeys exposed to the equivalent of five cannabis cigarettes per day for seven months (what would be termed heavy chronic use in an adult human) showed no signs of cerebral abnormalities, discrediting claims attached to the older study.[10]
