  Likely AG Nominee Says No to Drugs

  What we have to ask ourselves is what priorities have we most worried about.  It would be my pleasure to have an attorney general that agreed with my own views on the drug war, however the incoming President it seems has decided that putting this black man into this position is something more important than justice for those who can benefit from canabis's medical benifits, or any harm a 60 plus year domestic war has on the black community, or anyone in Illinois for that matter.  This issue was not raised in the campaign and I find it distressing that those who want this issue delt with; the drug war, would find it worth commenting on at this point.  Senator Obama seems comfortable in this man being confirmable and it seems to me that he has other ideas of what needs to happen first for the country, and I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt until he is in office.  I am personaly troubled with the potential hiering of a AG that thinks in these terms, yet I don't see a fight over an issue that most pot smoking americans would not admit to anyone at work or church or school or even to themselves at this point in the game to be beneficial or prudent to fight over.  I didn't here the press or Mr. Obama say one thing about the drug war since he has been elected and I don't think he intends to be drawn into a fight that would detract from an agenda that has yet to be revealed or revialed.  Any Gov. fearing republican or Fox news watcher it seams would love to get him on his heals and I think he's smarter than that.  No attorney general makes law, they only enforce the ones there. So I say to those who want change to go out and effect it by writing the law makers and expressing your ideas, just expressing an opinion seems to me to be falling short of partisopating in democracy, and isn't that what needs to keep happening for us to get our country back?
