With 366 words, this is on the long side. They might (might) either edit it down :sad: or wave their policy if they think it's really good.
There are a lot of other points to be made here. Please, read the article and just let fly with what you think. The more viewpoints, the better!

Re: Pump-Gate; Sembler vs. Bradbury
Thank you for covering this most interesting and important story.
Though I spent two years in Straight, Inc. and can attest to the abusive treatment that I received, metted out and witnessed every day of it, my primary interest in this story has nothing to do with anything that happened 20 years ago. Life's just too short.
I would not characterize Mr. Bradbury's actions as similar to the infamous blue dress stunt.
The Semblers, through their political organizations, have invested heavily and very profitably in public policy as a means of wealth building. According to Betty, addressing the 1998 Drug Summit (to which you and I chipped in to the tune of $64,000*), the drug screening industry takes in an estimated $6 Billion per year. Much, if not most, of that money is either mandated private spending or outright public funding required by legislation that the Semblers had a hand in getting passed into law.
The purpose of this shindig was to organize opposition to any grass-roots effort to change these laws that have made the Semblers and their associates among the wealthiest people in the country. Recent surveys among medical professionals show more than 70% of doctors and more than 90% of nurses are favorable toward some means of legalizing marijuana for medical use. People are dead, insane or in jail, not because of marijuana, but because of the Semblers and their political chums!
And this is just the tip of the iceburg. Interested readers should get on the net and search on Straight, Inc. and Sembler.
I think history will show that Mr. Bradbury is more on the level of Dan Ellsberg. If he has had to resort to an extreme maneuver to get the media to take a good close look at these people who control so much of our public policy and who seem so intensely interested in controling our private lives, God bless him! It's not asif he hasn't been trying every peaceful and legal means available to him for the last two decades.
Sincerely,
Ginger Warbis
