ReplyDelete6:13 You forgot school board member Gunnar Hand.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea but the bible thumpers are too strong in the rural areas. If Kansas went Missouri might, but Kansas is in the same boat. The state is heavily conservative religious nuts. With the players in the alcohol business, the campaign against legalization is going to mean major bucks for the reformers to score a win. Don't see it any time soon.
ReplyDeleteThe so called bible thumpers in the rural areas have a much more live and let live philosophy than you might think. The major players against drug reform will be law enforcement, lawyers, courts and the drug rehab industry - those who profit mightily from the war.
ReplyDeleteSo are all the haters going to be across the street yelling at this?
ReplyDeleteDwayne Bowe will be the keynote speaker.
