Speak Out 7/18/16

Fast news cycle

If news events didn't move so quickly, David Limbaugh's claim to know more about what rises to the level of prosecutorial misconduct than the FBI and U.S. Justice Department combined would likely provoke a lot of controversy and public discussion over whatever the issue was because of the terrible police and anti-police tragedies.

Not representative

There may be hope! Many gun-owning members are starting to realize that the NRA doesn't represent them nearly as much as it does the gun manufacturers and are starting to rethink whether or not the NRA really has the best interests of our beloved country as its No. 1 priority.

Not good enough

A contributor called state leaders doltish and questioned whether or not they will respond appropriately to the news that marijuana may be helpful in treating Alzheimer's. I certainly hope they will respond appropriately and not legalize something that is only purported to be of use. Marijuana should have to meet the same standard as those drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies, and the idea that something "may" work isn't good enough.
