I think the conservative movement should fund his appeals so that one day, he can be free. After all, banksters never did any hard time and this guy was just an entrepreneur along with the best of them. To let this guy rot in jail is the epitome of communism, punishing an entrepreneur for doing what he had to do to "make a living." |

How does one get two life sentences without ever committing a violent crime anyway?According to the article, he didn't even commit any property crimes. |

How does one get two life sentences without ever committing a violent crime anyway?yeah, I think it was disproportionate too. However Bernie Madoff didn't commit any violence either and he got something like a three thousand and five hundred year prison sentence. |

And before the usual suspects demand "proff" let's just take weed for example since we know about all those "caines" and morphine-based commercial drugs. Surely legitimate pharmacopia would NEVER sell weed, right? :)http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000883 Plenty more where that came from. Investor owned drug utilities don't like competition from upstarts. Silk Road was selling their stuff a *lot* cheaper. |

I'm pretty sure tetrahydrocannabinol was originally banned because of the paper, cloth, rope, and related companies who objected to competition from hemp-based products; that one gender of one species in the Cannabis genus produces a psychoactive chemical was just the cover story excuse for banning it, like how anti-choicers pretend that banning abortion is about "protecting babies" and the MPAA pretends that DRM laws are about "preventing copyright infringement."Remember, you only have to fool a congressman who's already been paid to be fooled. |

Well, when the time comes that the whanging on "libs" ends, then there'd be no point to it. :)Think of it as "fair and balanced." I don't consider that to be an empty slogan, I consider it to be a challenge. (grin) |

This is America, bub ... one has the choice in this huge ballroom of standing against that wall way over there, or that other wall way over there. Makes for a nice, empty dance floor for some of us to step on the gas of the old clownmobile. :) |
