Their beef tends to be cutting down specific trees (usually old growth), in specific areas.<br /><br />But then, this fact isn't very convenient to your argument, is it? So instead, you just invented a straw man to slay.<br /><br />Figures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-69755162946175183372009-07-20T12:38:23.897-07:002009-07-20T12:38:23.897-07:00I have yet to see Miglavs make a persuasive argume...I have yet to see Miglavs make a persuasive argument (or any argument, for that matter) why people should not be allowed to grow cannibas, for whatever the hell reason they want to use it. "It's against the law" is not an answer ... the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages <i>also</i> used to be against the law in this country, and we all know how <i>that</i> worked out. Can he, for once, defend his position? Or is this just another case of the ostensibly "anti-government" Miglavs expecting (surprise!) the government to force everyone to conduct their lives the way Miglavs thinks they should be conducted?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11266150.post-9470541964013734152009-07-20T08:53:28.037-07:002009-07-20T08:53:28.037-07:00As "Anonymous" says, there is a real pro...As "Anonymous" says, there is a real problem when the feds violate the constitution by such things as prohibing crops grown for textile use.
