On Nov 22, 2011 Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber announced that the
execution of convicted killer, Gary Haugen, will not go on as scheduled and no more executions will happen while he is in office. NY Times 3/15/13 Kitzhaber: state Supreme Court loss won't make him OK execution Quote:

Oh yes, policy is more important than an individual person. That's why there are millions in jail for using drugs, it's policy.

Government stopped Dr Kevorkian. And now stopped death by executions. If I need to kill myself, then the only reliable method is suicide by cop? Why are they subverting my rights?
50 virgins just still waiting for me. I once had free sex and drugs and rock and roll. But now I must have a drug plan. The pope says I cannot have sex without being married or a priest. Thank god for rock and roll. |

How NYC works. 11 years, 440,000 pot busts, 1,000,000 police man hours.

I am highly impressed by the sophisticated statistical method used to generate the 1,000,000 hours... NOT

It's easy to believe 2.5 hours per bust. First the cops usually work in pairs. Then those dangerous criminals have to be transported, booked, and housed until they can see the judge, all handled by cops.
And that doesn't even include the whippers, beaters, fingernail pullers, and gruel sloppers in the dungeons.

I thought it would be more than 2.5 hours. We toured our jail recently, and they made it sound like booking took a real long time.

IMO, the intended message of that report-cover graph was that officer time was being wasted,
and made it too easy to assume marijuana possession cases were the only purpose. There are other effects and implications to the "stop and frisk" initiative ... some positive and some negative. The long term implications for someone found guilty of "possession" are far out of proportion to the seriousness of their "crime". At the same time, the"tan skin" profiling found up to now in the "stop and frisk" has serious implications for civil rights. |

That's not what the report says.

We are not in disagreement here.

"He ducked that one"
"How did the cops miss a sitting duck like that speeding sedan? By the waddling ducks." "Drakeblocked!" (wait.. that doesn't work either, a drake is the male duck like a cock is a male chicken, but it was likely the hen [what's the female duck called anyway? mama?])
