Barney Frank Files Bill To Decriminalize Pot

Can I get a hallelujah?!!! Finally we will get some debate on the issue, and hopefully it will pass. Barny, you are the man! I can't imagine how bad the conservative freaks will be screaming about this one.

Here is a good quote from Frank on the bill. . .

"I think John Stuart Mill had it right in the 1850s," said Congressman Frank, "when he argued that individuals should have the right to do what they want in private, so long as they don't hurt anyone else. It's a matter of personal liberty. Moreover, our courts are already stressed and our prisons are over-crowded. We don't need to spend our scarce resources prosecuting people who are doing no harm to others."

Hopefully this one gets to the floor instead of squelched like last time.
