  1. Ever notice that when something "blows up", such as that fieldhouse deal at EPHS, and you look at the names of the people involved, they are always the same names or relatives of people involved in other controversial issues or disasters.

    And, usually there are the same people or, again, relatives, making money on these fiascos.

     

    Why does the word "incestuous" always come to mind when I think of Paulding County politics and county business.

  2. I'm gonna skip back to the original topic and defend Mr. Maxwell.

     

    Leave Howard Maxwell alone.

    Don't you know that Mr. Maxwell has a Platinum Paulding County Citizenship?

    You can see it in the video, where he tells those of us who are just regular citizens, 'the same road that brought you here (to Paulding County) will take you back'.

     

    I finally remembered who Howard Maxwell reminds me of, Senator Claghorn from the old Fred Allen radio show.

    This character later became the cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn.

    Hmmmmm, cartoon character.....maybe it's Foghorn Leghorn that Maxwell reminds me of.

  3. Here is one of the out of county PACs supporting Liberty, American Foundation for Children Action Fund Georgia Independent Committee. If you do some research on them it won't take you long to find the Koch brothers back there smiling. You will also find the connection to the Amercian Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The same ALEC that has previously stated its purpose is "to introduce normal market forces" into education and to "dismantle the control and power of" teachers' unions by directing money from public institutions to private ones that were less likely to be unionized.[/size]

    One of their main supporters when speaking to an audience in 2006 explained that vouchers are really a step towards "abolishing the public school system." He went onto[/size] say, "How do we get from where we are to where we want to be?"..."Of course, the ideal way would be to abolish the public school system and eliminate all the taxes that pay for it. Then parents would have enough money to pay for private schools, but you're not gonna do that."

    I don’t know about the rest of you, but that is downright scary. Liberty homeschools her children and is supported by a group that calls for the dismantling of the public school system. Wacky weed is the least of my concerns with Liberty.[/size]

     

    Your funny.

    Dumb, but funny.

  4. Lindsey Tippens was the one on the Senate floor that objected to medical marijuana use in Georgia.

     

    He wanted more studies done. There's no need for more studies. He just wanted his name in print, he doesn't give two hoots about cannabis oil helping very sick children and adults.

    Ezra suffered his first seizure at 3 days old.

     

    He screamed, gyrated, turned purple. The strain on his body and mind left him unresponsive for hours. At 3 months, the seizures began to multiply, 300 to 500 a day.

     

    Doctors pumped him full of medicines, which along with the near-constant seizures left him in a catatonic state, sleeping 21 hours a day. He went 4 months without crying.

     

    But as he nears his second birthday, Ezra is down to fewer than 10 seizures a day. He is putting on weight. He holds his head up. He cries when he is hungry. He shows preferences for objects and colors. His dozen medications are down to one, and he is being weaned off that.

     

    "He's like a totally different child," says his mother. "He's finally getting an infancy that he never had."

     

    She credits a most unlikely drug: marijuana.

     

    Kiser is among the hundreds of parents who have moved to Colorado in recent months or are planning to move to get access to a special strain of the plant. It is low in THC, the ingredient that gives users a "high," but high in cannabinoids, or CBD. That's the ingredient that has shown amazing results in reducing seizures with minimal side effects.

     

    They are marijuana refugees, families who have moved hundreds or thousands of miles away from loved ones for a drug that remains illegal for recreational use in 48 states and on the federal level. Their stories have sparked efforts in many states to relax marijuana laws and spurred research into how the drug reduces seizures.

     

    This former teacher from a Southern Baptist family in South Carolina is as surprised as anyone to be here.

    Like you said, he is against it for personal gain, nothing else.

    Again, if anyone who you consider to be intelligent enough to pour...water, out of a boot, says they are against medical cannabis oil, then they are doing so out of a personal agenda.

    If you know for a fact that they have no personal agenda and truly believe that medical cannabis oil may be used to get high, then I would not trust them to do anything that requires enough intelligence to pour...water, out of a boot.

  5. Stoner medical oil? I've never heard of that. Medicinal cannabis oil is legal for certain ailments but it's not legal to buy or sell in Ga. Which obviously makes perfect sense. So basically, if a mother has a child who suffers 100 seizures a day wants to give her kid cannabis oil in hopes of a better quality of life, she has to risk possible jail time. Oh, and cannibis oil doesn't get you high. I guess it's just too much trouble for some people to educate themselves before they speak.

     

    That really is an ignorant statement.

    And I think it's the republicans trying to keep it out of Georgia.

    But I could be wrong.

    I have to think that post was tongue in cheek.

    I seriously doubt there is any rational, half way intelligent person that sincerely thinks or believes that medical cannabis oil has anything to do with getting high.

    I know very very little about medical cannabis oil, thankfully, I've never had the need to learn, but even I, just by osmosis, know that medical cannabis oil is not a mind altering drug.

     

    Like I said, I'm against the legalization of marijuana for smoking or eating, but to equate smoking pot with medical cannabis oil is as stupid as saying that you cannot have any anesthesia during surgery because the similar drugs are used to get high.

     

     

    Ohhhh, I'm still waiting for someone to justify the Howard Maxwell flyer.

    But I'm also happy to see that, apparently, everyone here realizes that there is no justification and that Howard Maxwell is a lowlife lier.

     

    You know, it amazes me how some people, or organizations, seem to have people not connected with them, spend lots and lots of money, to support these individuals or the organization's causes, all without being asked to do so or even with the individual's or organization's knowledge.

    Must be a LOT of people out there with a LOT of extra money and no desire to use it for themselves, take a trip, upgrade the kitchen, or even invest it for their kids and grandkids.

    Unasked and without any knowledge of those they are spending large sums of money for, they pay for flyers to be printed and mailed out, they pay for billboard to be posted.

    Now many people may find it hard to believe that people just spend big money in this way, without being asked or even discussing it with those who they are supporting, but come on, don't be so pessimistic, surely you have done the same thing or had it done for you.

    No??

    Really??

    Not even once??

    Huh...strange...now that I think of it, me neither.

  6. I have been a member of the Libertarian and Democrat parties. I am fiscally conservative and socially liberal.. I have been to a few Republican party meetings when there was a speaker of interest. I support the legalization of pot, oil, etc. but the issue is not of importance to me in the grand scheme of things. Its not in the top 10...

     

    Thanks.

    For some reason, I had you down as being a big member of the local Republican party, no offence intended.

    I wasn't aware that you were a wacko, pot smoking, Dorito munching, liberal.

    After all, some of my best friends are wacko, pot smoking, Dorito munching, liberals.

     

    (just kidding....at least 99% kidding)

  7. I don't care for up tight, rigid, GOP lawmakers. I'd like to see some of them get high and loosen up, lol...

     

    So you are for making pot smoking legal?

    If so, then you must be against Boss Hog....I mean Howard Maxwell.

     

    Also, not a trick question, but weren't you, at least at one time, a part of the local Republican party?

    Doesn't matter to me, one way or the other, but for some reason that was stuck in my head.

  8. I never get local political flyers.

    I consider that a good thing.

     

    I have to wonder, if you support Howard Maxwell, how do you justify something as stupid and mean and nasty as his flyer on trying to associate medicinal cannabis oil with making pot smoking legal.

    I'm serious, how do you justify using thousands of people in pain and misery as tools for your own personal advancement and ambitions?

    How??

     

    Do you lie to yourself and say, ohhhh, that wasn't Howie, it was someone else sending it out without Howie's knowledge?

    Do you say, screw those sick people, we can't let anyone but Good Ole Howie win?

     

    How do you justify it?

     

    Wanna bet that NO ONE replies with an actual answer?

    You know why?

     

    BECAUSE THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR SUCH AN IMMORAL AND HEINOUS ACT!

     

    Just like people who try and justify what Brett.....never mind.

  9. I'm confused, is Boss Hog....I mean Howard Maxwell against medical cannabis oil?

    If so, what is his reasoning or does he even have reasons.

    Are they based on ignorance and fear?

    Is he really for having children suffer when they do not have to?

     

    I'm a don't make pot legal guy.

    I'm pretty strong on that point.

    But only a moron or someone that is so ignorant that they really should not be allowed to drive, much less vote, would be against a chemical that could ease the suffering of so many, without all the negative effects that many of our medicines have.

  10. Yea, they realize that full bellies and full employment are aspects of happiness. Given over half the country is a natural/wildlife preserve where exploitation (mining, poaching, farming, etc.) is prohibited means they live in balance with nature.

     

    It is obvious to me you judge them harshly because they don't conform to your distorted expectations.

     

    Oh, btw, bye.

    Bhutan's economy is based on agriculture, forestry, tourism and the sale of hydroelectric power to India. Agriculture provides the main livelihood for 55.4 percent of the population. Agrarian practices consist largely of subsistence farming and animal husbandry. Handicrafts, particularly weaving and the manufacture of religious art for home altars, are a small cottage industry. A landscape that varies from hilly to ruggedly mountainous has made the building of roads and other infrastructure difficult and expensive.

  12. While I only met Janice a few times, I know she was a loving mother, a wonderful loving companion, who loved horses and the outdoors.

    She was a blessing to those who knew her and she will be greatly missed.

     

    How can I say all this about a woman I only met a few times?

    Because I know people who have been close to her for years and I have heard all of the above, time and time again and I have never once heard one negative thing said about this lovely lady.

     

    She will be missed by those who knew her well and those who just met her a few times.

  13. This time of the year especially is when I would be suspicious of strange people looking into windows of houses. Or loitering around neighborhoods.

     

    First time ever in years I had a package stolen right from my front door in the middle of a broad day light. Saw it there when I was pulling into garage, but since I was out for a while had to take my dog outback when I got in first. By the time I was back, literally minutes later, the box was gone. Neighbors are never home at that time in the afternoon so nobody saw anything.

     

    So yep, I'd be suspicious of anyone right about now.

     

    The good news is, the government says crime is down.

  14. This from the 5pm Fox 5 News.

     

    From: Paulding County

     

    Suspicious woman reported at a home on St. Charles Ave.

    Paulding Sheriffs show up and find woman trying to get in partially opened garage door.

    Woman points gun at LE, LE fires at woman, woman is arrested for burglary and aggravated assault charges.

     

     

    Shame on someone for reporting suspicious activity, don't they know that is racist?

     

    Apparently from Goldmine to St Charles it is about 10 miles or a 10 minute drive.
