BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Taking your question more seriously for a moment, assuming your not trolling ( which is a ridiculous assumption when talking with you)... Because I think that the prohibition on pot is an unjust law, does not mean that I violate that law. I haven't smoked pot in years, but when I did, I never possessed it in any significant amount that would have resulted in anything but a fine. I have never sold pot. I don't think it's wrong to do it, however I did not do it for the same reason I didn't purger myself, I don't want to go to jail. The risk is not worth the reward. I don't judge those who do sell it, who are economically incentivized to it by that unjust law. I'm simply too risk adverse to do it myself. I'm no activist, and pot legalization is no great cause of mine. I will say that I don't think the laws prohibiting perjury are unjust, in fact I think having a law against lying under oath is extremely useful. If there were no penalties for lying under oath, our legal system would not work, or at least would be a great deal more difficult to make work, as everyone would be lying to protect their own interests. That's not to say I wouldn't lie under oath, if I had some great incentive to do so, like avoiding jail for some greater charge, to save my job, to protect a loved one, to save my marriage or somthing. I would not, however, risk jail time to serve on a jury. That seems like a preposterous risk with zero reward. My world view is mostly cost/benefit analysis, there's nothing sacred about it.

colonel Feathers 5 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 My beard is at near Duck Dynasty levels, I doubt I would have been picked for this particular trial anyway, I have real "pot friendly look ( though I haven't smoked it in years now). This way maybe the term jury nullification will rattle around in some of their brains. Gaddangit,I just knew it, I freaking just knew it. THX +6 Link to post Share on other sites

IT is amazing that no one has figured out how to make hack proof e mails, or web sites. IF i were bill gates Id have a whole department dedicated to come up with a way. Would have to be worth billions if they could do it. Link to post Share on other sites
