Democratic Presidential Candidates

Yeah I've said since day one I want Barrack Hussein Obama to go to the show. But I was looking at all their websites the other day and only one of them had Crime as an issue on their site--and that was Dennis Kucinich. While Kucinich mostly rambled about improving the first line of defense while also making sure there was no more police brutality, he is the only one to even bother mentioning crime. Crime isn't getting talked about in the public forum, at all. If you live in a city you know how bad it's been getting every year. If you live in Philly, you've probably seen someone get killed on your street.

Sometimes I feel like Global Warming, Iraq an other issues take up so much room, a lot of domestic issues get lost. Also Only one of the candidates had the decriminalization of marijuana, again Kucinich. Now I feel this is also a gravely important issue--the only problem is that usually the most baked kids are advocating and whoever else brings it up is labeled as such. America, fucking everyone has tried pot, and a lot of them are habitual users. However when have you ever heard someone killing someone after they smoked, or raping someone, or getting behind the wheel and killing some kid--or really being angry at all--fucking never. Because all pot makes you want to do is eat, lie down and talk about profound shit or laugh for an hour and a half about a smudge on a napkin. That's pretty much it. However because it is a Category I or whatever it's called there are more people being arrested for marijuana than all violent crimes put together, on top of that 99% of them arrested for possession meaning some kid had like a nickel bag and was about to have a good time with all his friends and now is in prison with baby rapers. As a nation with 12% of our population behind bars and overcrowding at an absurd level people should realize what a mess this one law is making. A recent study has been done that showed that marijuana decriminalization would free up over a billion dollars of the taxpayers' money and would in no way hinder police work or raise crime rates.

Maybe it is Kucinich's job to bring up the issues the bigger candidates forget about so that they can be discussed in a national forum but come on, crime is more important than the US's international reputation. I'd rather for it to be unheard of to have over 400 murder's in a US city than change what faggot France or Italy think about us. Their scum bags anyway and when they play sports it shows.

Or maybe it'll be up to my generation to fix this too. You boomers are fucking worthless.
