NY 3 tier drivers license

This is not law yet but I have seen worse things implemented in NY. Dictator Spitzer wants to have a 3 tier drivers license.

1st tier will be a license to operate a motor vehicle.
2nd tier will be a Real ID compliant license
3rd tier will be a license similar to a passport that will let people go across the US Canadian border.

Ok first thing I see is there will be 3 bureaucracies created to handle the 3 tier's which will mean that the residents of NY will be forced to shell out more money for 2 new bureaucracies and more people will be employed by the state which the people of NY will have to pay for all those doughnut eating wastes of life. The second issue I see is that people will have to pay more for the 2nd and 3rd tier licenses and probably more for a simple drivers license.

Personally I do not think that states have the authority to license people to travel. I have violated this law when I was under 16 and I would help my father on the farm, I would drive the tractor from vineyard to vineyard and would have to travel a state road to get to some vineyards. Yes according to the police you need to have a drivers license to drive a tractor on a road. I think that operating the tractor helped me learn to drive before I was old enough to get a license.

As for the Real ID I have made a promise to myself that I will not take a Real ID document. This is a line in the sand for me and it will be as far as I will go. If I have to operate a vehicle without a license I will. I do not want my personal information in a centralized government database and no I am not a Luddite I think technology is a great thing but this database will be a great target for people who want to commit identity theft.

These are just the problems I can see in my very limited knowledge of the plans that the dictator wants to force on the serfs.

Do your own research and make up your own mind.

Allowing sick people medicine

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.

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!!!
