Why don't we decriminalize every law we do not like?

The point is
not to decriminalize every law we do not like, but to get rid of laws that
don't work. Even more important is to get rid of laws that make problems
worse instead of better. The laws against marijuana are based on moral hysteria, just like the old, abandoned laws against alcohol. The laws against marijuana are what are creating the calls for the
national guard and a
state of emergency.
Supervisor John McCowen was right when he said that decriminalizing marijuana will get rid of the problem by destroying its black market profitibality.
But notice, the people creating a problem growing the stuff are illegal immigrants. Why aren't the people who are calling for a state of emergency and the national guard not calling for a crackdown on illegal immigrants? You would think that the first thing they would be screaming for is Arizona's 1070, but I guess even the "conservatives" in Mendocino gots to have there leaf blower monkeys.
Vote Yes on Proposition 19 this November.
