According to the great state of Nebraska I am a marijuana addict. Despite the fact that I was caught with a little less than an ounce of weed and in order to actually become a marijuana addict you'd need to smoke enough weed every day to kill Tommy Chong. But at least now the Government doesn't care. After the war and 30 years of regression socially, the U.S. Government managed to convince the public again that public enemy #1 was 'dangerous' drugs. Needless to say I am now a proud attendee of narcotics anonymous. A condition to my plea deal that turned out to be worse than getting butt raped by a guy named Spider. I sat and I listened to people who actually have problems. One guy let his dog die of starvation on a heroin binge,

Don't think that's just a title I put on when I get to the office. Every moment of the day if some fucker is breaking my law I'll break him. I believe I have the jurisdiction. I abhor crime of all kinds. I take pleasure in taking scum off my streets. A guy fucks up, and I'm the cocksucker who makes him pay. A crack head beats up his wife I throw his ass in jail. A kid steals a candy bar I set him straight. Some dickhead wants to drive all over the road I make sure he doesn't do it again. My cohorts at the station ask me
"Cooke, why're you always such a hard ass?"
"I am because I need to be." I always reply. People left unchecked will go nuts. There are lots of crazies on the street and if I'm not hard on crime they'll walk all over the normal god fearing citizens of this country and I won't have that. I have no patience for dumb assholes who think they know better than me. There was a kid I arrested a few weeks back, he thought he knew better. I threw a pebble or two in his bag of weed to make his 0.89 ounces a nice whole number, let's call it a felony. Do I feel bad? Never. He was the one who fucked up. My radio crackles to life and I pick it up. A missing person's report needs to be filed they tell me. 2122 Oak, nice

We ended up arresting five people. Almost all for drugs. Cooke turns into traffic. We drive down main street towards the edge of town. We don't talk. We never talk. He just sits there stewing in his own ego as he presses the accelerator down more and more. I look at the speedometer. 61. Were in a 45. Cocksucker. I'm a grandma driver. I can never bring myself to go even five miles an hour over the speed limit. My parents died in a crash when I was six. I didn't drive until I was 21. I was too scared. I got over it. I joined the force. Life goes on. Cooke looks irritated as he has to pass a farmer on a tractor, he looks very mad, overly mad, like this isn't a daily occurrence in bum fuck Nebraska. Like I said Cooke is a cunt. We slow and turn onto the road which leads to the highway. Cooke takes off again down the road. He has a system. If there's a car going to slow for him he puts on his lights, acts like he's pulling them over, then when they're out of his way he takes off leaving them confused and annoyed.

    Many politicians have demonstrated no compassion with this issue because they were never arrested for their past drug use. For instance, it seems quite unlikely that Barack Obama would have become the first black President of the United States if he had been arrested for cocaine and marijuana, both of which he has admittedly used. In fact, Obama was reportedly such a weed aficionado that he mandated “Total Absorption” or “TA” when smoking among his group of close friends. According to David Maraniss, an Obama biographer, if someone didn’t fully absorb their hit off of a joint, they “were assessed a penalty” and their “turn was skipped the next time the joint came…

    Driving above the speed is not only dangerous but also something that has to be handled nation wide. Deaths have risen in recent years because of drivers who carelessly don't look at their speed limits or the speed they are driving at. It is not only important for one's life but for other people's lives, their families, their vehicles. People don't seem to understand they are putting so much more at risk than just themselves. Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day.…

This is shown when he avoids hitting the young child and aims for the older girls instead. This may be because he has children of his own, or he understands what it’s like to be tormented as a child.…

    Utilitarianism is the concept illustrated by John Stuart Mill as the maximization of human happiness. (He relates utility to the “greatest happiness principle,” a concept by philosopher Jeremy Bentham.) Mill describes happiness as “pleasure and the absence of pain.” Something of extrinsic value has worth only because of the value or benefits it brings to something else; something of intrinsic value has worth because of the value it possesses even while alone.…

    In 1995, Linda Byrnes, now 70 years old, was sentenced to 27 years and 9 months in State prison for “conspiracy to distribute Marijuana” (Can-Do #). This grandmother, although not a user or career dealer of Cannabis, is the perfect representative for the pro-decriminalization corner in the illicit drug use debate. Byrnes and thousands of Americans with similar stories are facing a lifetime of harsh and severe punishment for a disproportionate crime. In order to reduce the number of drug-related cases in the federal criminal system, systematically and strategically decrease and rehabilitate drug addicts, and to successfully fight the war on drugs, policy advocates and those concerned for the health of America believe that the Federal Government…
