On May 13, 2014, at 7 pm, San Jose may make THE SICK DRIVE TO THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT in order TO GET MEDICINE.
The San Jose City Council seems to believe that people who use marijuana are not actually ill, they are just stoners. The council does not want to get input from the medical marijuana clinics, they just want to get more votes in their races for major. Reading the reports, it is clear that the city is willing to listen to any untruth about marijuana in order to justify closing down the discrete, friendly, and really necessary neighborhood clinics.
If you think I am exaggerating, let me tell you about my ADA request to have the MEDICAL marijuana issue heard as soon after 7 pm as possible. I said I would be in a wheelchair and many disabled people would be coming to the meeting. I was told that any such request would require me to attend an additional rules meeting.
What part of MEDICAL marijuana do these people fail to understand? These out of touch politicians do not even understand that some patients NEED concentrates.
If you have cancer, arthritis, MS, or are using marijuana to help with ANY illness please come to the meeting. You will have ONE MINUTE to speak, so write it down and practice.
THE HEALTH YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN!

THE JUDGE, THE DA AND THE MERCURY NEWS
There is a Mercury News columnist who is trashing the reputation of a judge who had the courage to rule against the DA. She ruled in favor of the defense. SHOCKING, I know.
It should be no surprise that an Deputy District Attorney is running against Judge Richie.
When Judge Richie ruled against the DA's office, the DA refused to have any more cases be heard in front of Judge Richie. You can stop wondering why there is a bias against defense motions in the local court systems.
I watched this same columnist trash DA Carr, then praise the new DA for doing the same things he trashed Carr for doing.
You can make up your own mind. Me, I am going to vote for Judge Richie. We need judges with the courage to follow due process of law.

UKRAINE--IS THE DARK SIDE STRONGER?
"No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive," says Yoda. As Russian thugs try to use fear to trigger anger and aggression, what can we do?
Too many people in this world are beating people with billy clubs, blowing up or kidnapping school children, using evil ways to try to force others into obedience.
I believe that the forces of goodness and light will win over the forces of evil and dark.
It is way too quick and easy to blow up and kill people. What is hard is helping a baby grow into an adult or building a building or a bridge or roads.
Unfortunately, the Nazis have totally tarnished the word fascist. So I am going to call these evil people "BOORS".
BOORS are the kind of people who use intimidation rather than persuasion. If they do try to persuade people, they tell deliberate lies.
SO WE TELL THE TRUTH, use economic pressure, and treat the boors with the contempt that they deserve.
Right now, my only advice to the Ukrainians, is that they should VOTE. All that happens when good people boycott bad elections is that the bad people believe that they have more power.

RACIST CLIPPERS OWNER
If you REALLY want to send a message to the NBA, DO NOT WATCH THE CLIPPERS GAMES. In professional sports, IT IS THE TV REVENUES THAT ARE BIG BUCKS.
Do not ATTEND the Clippers playoff games, do not WATCH the Clippers playoff games on either TV or the internet. When advertising revenues drop, the NBA should pay attention.
BTW, while you are not watching sports teams owned by racists, do not forget to not watch the Washington Red****s.
Let major league sports know that overt racism is not acceptable in the US.

'LITTLE GREEN MEN'
Eastern Ukrainians are calling the camouflaged Russians 'little green men'. IMHO this is a Ukrainian FOLKLORE INSULT.
Such an insult serves two purposes.
If you do not understand the nature of the insult, you are NOT from East Ukraine. Local folktales and legends can be specific to an area. Questioning locals about such folklore can result in the tallest of tall tales. In the American West, the jackalope is a good example of this.
The locals are able to get away with an extreme insult. All they have to do is say, "But it just means alien, like in the movies."
I am very proud of Ukraine for doing its very best to act with wisdom, rather than with fear. Russia needs the Ukrainians to act with fear, because fear is the only thing that makes smart people collectively act with stupidity and violence.

MURDERING SLAVERS
The criminals who call themselves Boko Haram have kidnapped 129 schoolgirls to be their slaves*. They also left a hole in the road where a bus used to be.
Boko Haram uses Islam as an excuse for kidnap, rape, and murder.
The truth is that they are insane criminals who use fear in an attempt to avoid the consequences of their horrible crimes.
They have to kidnap girls, because no girl is stupid enough to marry these insane criminals.
They say that Islam allows them to kidnap and/or kill anyone who tries to get a Western education. Islamic leaders need to make public statements about how Islam does NOT justify criminals.
Both Islam and the Eastern Orthodox Church need to STOP BEING PART OF THE PROBLEM AND START BEING PART OF THE SOLUTION.
*Last I checked, 45 girls had escaped, leaving 88 girls enslaved.

HAVE A PEACEFUL HOLIDAY
Much of the world is celebrating Passover and Easter this week. It is very unusual for Jews, Eastern Orthodox Christians, and Western Christians, to celebrate these holidays at the same time.
Perhaps it is a sign that all of us should respect each other and live in peace.
I have often thought that the statement, "The meek shall inherit the Earth," means that people who learn to live together in peace will be the only people left on Earth.
In order to live in peace, you need to allow each person to make their own decisions regarding religion.
In order to live in peace, we have to respect each human for who they are. It should not matter whether you are female, are male, are transsexual, have dark skin, have pink skin, are young, are old, are quick, are slow. We are all people and each of us has something to contribute to our world.
