This is a fairly controversial topic in the world we currently live in and I personally don't see why anyone could condone not allowing people to make their own choices on what substances to use to make them feel better.
This morning I was made aware that Gov. Sptizer has changed his mind on medical marijuana for sick people specifically people with debilitating diseases for example Multiple Sclerosis, AIDS, and cancer. With our current medical knowledge we cannot cure these diseases and the people that are stricken with these terrible diseases are in extreme pain. I hope that no one ever has to go through this pain but this is real life and I know that people every day are diagnosed and are suffering with diseases.
As some of you know I am no fan of Spitzer or really any other politician but Spitzer is beginning to realize he made a mistake with medical marijuana but not because he thinks people should be able to make their own decisions on what people can put in their own bodies but because who wants to be on the side saying a dieing person cant take this substance because it could what kill them (I have never heard of anyone dieing from smoking marijuana). The people with these diseases do not have the time or the energy to fight for this that is why people like you and I need to stand up and say let them do what they want as long as they do not hurt other people.

Man spends over 2 Decades in prison wrongly
Unless you live in the Buffalo area you may not know about Anthony Capozzi. I personally do not know him either but I feel sorry for the torture he has endured. To make a long story short Anthony was convicted of 2 rapes over 20 years ago. Just today the State of New York proved using DNA evidence that they convicted the wrong person of these rapes.
So any normal person would think they would let him out today. If you think that you are totally wrong, he may have to spend 30 more days in prison for a crime he did not commit 22 years ago. According to a media source in the area that spoke with a Judge they are trying to expedite the process but the earliest he believes Anthony will be released is Monday which is 6 days away.
You may think that I have gone overboard by using the word torture to describe the treatment Anthony went through but I can not think of a better word. This man is innocent you know it I know it the State knows it but they are still going to keep him locked up in a cell. If I kept you locked in a room for 6 days I would be charged with kidnapping and probably a bunch of other crimes, the State of New York does it and they call it wrapping up paperwork not to mention the 22 years this man had to spend locked behind steel bars and concrete.
I don't know about you but I think that someone should be punished for this crime against Anthony. As you and I know nothing will come from this except some press, I would make a bet that no one will even lose their job.

NY Govoner wants to tax Indians
You may not know about this unless you live in the Western New York area. This is a issue that has come up back in the mid 1990's and it is rearing its ugly head again. The names have changed but it is still the same old issue. The Seneca Indian reservation which is a sovereign nation has businesses that sell gasoline and tobacco products without a heavy tax like New York, there is a small tax which I believe the Indian nation uses.
The dictator aka governor of New York State wants to impose the same tax on any tobacco product that is sold on the reservation that is imposed on businesses that reside in New York. You may be thinking "so what they should pay their fair share" The problem is that the reservation is sovereign territory which means it is a nation just like Canada, Mexico, Brazil, or China. This is like telling China you must impose the same taxes that NY imposes on businesses in the state.
This is insane and if the politicians in NY would open up a history book and pull their heads out of another body cavity they would realize that this is going to end badly. In the 90's the Indian's put tires on the roads entering the nation and burned them. Two interstate roads travel through the reservation I-90 and I-86. If the governor proceeds I fear that something like this will happen again which does not affect the politicians directly but it does hurt the people that will have to travel around the reservation not to mention that back in the 90's many state troopers were called to the area to stand off with the Indians.
Why can't New York just leave the Indians alone. They have not tried to take land without compensation, they have not attacked the surrounding towns. All they have done is let business open and provide a product to the people that pass through their nation. They have not opened up tolls for everyone entering their nation they do not search everyone traveling through their nation.
Spitzer leave the peaceful Indians alone!!!
