Ron, yes it's the possible aftermath of publically supporting legalizing marijuana that keeps me quiet. I do live in a small town, with equal amounts of people who would be open to my ideas and people who might show up at my doorstep with shot guns...I'm not joking. A local inn applied for a liquer license recently, and some extremely religious people threatened the owner of the inn with bodily harm at a township meeting. They felt liquer was the "devil's drink" and he was inviting Satan to our area. Can you imagine what they'd do to me? I also have children to think about. For now, I will have to support all efforts monetarally.


On the bright side, strong support for the Green party has come to light around here within the past year. People are tired of the status quo I guess, and are finally voicing their opinions to the public. If I want other supporters to join me, a meeting with them would likely offer the most promise. I'll keep thinking about it.

I understand what you mean about people dressing like "hippies". There's a time and place for everything. An unkempt appearance in front of people who already think badly of you is not smart. First impressions have a lot to do with how someone thinks of you no matter how good your ideas are. If some one doesn't look serious about their message, how do they expect to be taken seriously? Ok, now I'm ranting.

Oh and, Ron, I'd also like to apologize for believing a rumor that this site was closing from a less than reliable source. Next time I'll wait to "hear it from the horse's mouth" before I believe another rumor.
