HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY!!!

Pranagraphy is finally done. There are a few loose ends here and there but nothing critical so I’m going to start posting. My first official debate will begin on Sunday June 1st 2003 because I like to start fresh. The topic of this debate will be Marijuana. Some questions you may want to think about are:

What is the history of marijuana?
What are the positive,negative and neutral effects to using marijuana?
Should it be legalized and why/why not?
Should it be a crime to possess/use marijuana and if so what is a fitting punishment?
What is the governments role in the use of marijuana?

Once again, my post on this topic will be published on Sunday the 1st. At that time please head to the forums to discuss it (it will also be posted there). Please don’t post your argument in the comments as there is not enough space. I would like to give credit to my new friends at The Society of Self Expressions Unlimited who inspired this first debate.

In the meantime, here are some links (also provided by SEU) that I found enlightening.

AlterNet- I highly suggest you read the article entitled: Your rights – Uses Em Or Lose Em by Rachel Neumann

I’m almost done setting the stage. In the meantime, read this : TV Producer Of Hitler Miniseries Is Fired For Suggesting America Is A Bit Like Germany During The Riegn Of Hitler When People Were Persecuted For Expressing Opinions – The Irony Is Missed By CBS.
