    It's well known that Reagan's main goal was to jail all black people and it's equally well known that only blacks use crack. Further, only white people use cocaine in powder form and only whites have enough money to be in possession of an entire ounce.

    Wait. Who's the racist here?

    JFK...now that's funny right there. :grin:

    That damn Abraham Lincoln too. What a racist!

    Question: If the south is so racist why do so many of the "victims" live there?

    because it is their home. Just as much as it is yours. What does Lincoln have to do with anything?

    By your question, I am going to guess that you believe the two penalties should be the same? And if you believe so, is it because the danger, no matter how great or small you personally believe it to be, of these drugs is exactly the same to society?

    I agree. I think Romney is a good candidate. I don't want an extreme right or left. I would also prefer someone who has been an effective manager, either as a governor or as a business. I don't particularly like the idea of a professional politician who has only been "served" as a congressional body for their career.

    Great question dude and I have been wondering who it will be for some time now. It also scares me that there isn't anyone to take the lead yet. What scares me even more is the name you hear most often in the news, not that you hear it in terms of running in 2012 but you just hear it. Palin. She just isn't electable IMO and I hope this isn't the horse they choose to put into the gate. My personal choice would probably be Gingrich but again, I doubt that he is electable even if he is one of the few that could lead us out of this economic disaster. Hate him if you want to but while Slick Willie was having his own little "brown cuban missle crisis" in the west wing with Monica ole newt was getting some work done. Romney is not who I would pick, lets not kid ourselves, he tried obamacare up there in Mass before it became obamacare and it sucked then and it sucks now. Hope they find something soon.

    they should carry the same sentence, yes, but i still have a hard time finding the logic in locking up non violent drug offenders.
