i have to be suspicious too dana, this happened during the bush years but, this theory of conspiracy sounds or rather reads true to me too... at the time the war in iraq was realy raging and i predicted that they would win by whatever means necessary... however, this time around the popularity of barak obama was too overwelming for any conservative hanky panky... the number of people and money that was put on the obama campeign and the whole world watching, victory for the democratic party was a no brainer... so far since the coming of the new obama administration pot people are a bit skeptical as to the slow movement of cannabis / hemp being a economic stimulus in the united states and the world at large ... cannabis as medicine, as food, as fuel oil,as textile and as sacrament is slowly marching to it place of prominence in societies all over the world... may be , just may be obama is moving slowly but surely to the restoration of our civil rights that were stolen by previous american administrations... admitting wrong doing is the first step in resolving the conflicts; the imprisonment, the killing and the isolation of so many by this super power over the past one hundred years have been a crime against not only humanity but, the planet... their poisonous eradication campeign on the tree of life has been a desaster and distruction of many a innocent life... never the less a new day has dawned and though we might reflect on the past , let us look to the future for solutions to these many problems and create a better world for our childrens children... peace and love ,from; renney b.
