The whole point of free speech is not to make ideas exempt from criticism but to expose them to it.

Vote yes on IM13.

For nine days, Emmett Reistroffer helped
Central States Fair visitors filter their
feelings about allowing sick, disabled and
dying people to alleviate
their suffering.

Will Emmett be running for office or running from South Dakota?

Emmett is torn between becoming the Saviour of South Dakota and raising tomatoes on a collective in northern California.

Here's a thoughtful story from the Billings Gazette.

How fitting. The person behind the "pro pot" commercial is also opposed to California's Prop 19 (legalization). Gotta protect your government-enforced monopoly, I guess.

Anybody seen any recent polling on this?

Shepard Smith / FOX News: “Are you kidding me? Compared to Oxycontin and Percocet, the side effects of marijuana are serious?”

A piece about medical marijuana patients being fired from jobs for using medical marijuana. Bravo Shepard, he nails this guy, asking why employees whom use much more dangerous pain killers don't get fired, but medical pot users do.

Bill,

Are you asking about Prop 19 in Cali or IM 13 here?

The polling for Prop 19 is all over the map. I haven't seen anything about IM 13 here in SD.

Thank you for the link, Ken G. Good job, Shepard Smith.
