Dave if we’re just going to resort to stereotypes and name calling don’t mad when someone calls you something you don’t like. You seem to be a Trump supporter so calling you a inbreed cousin loving hillbilly nazi would be the equivalent of how you responded to Eduardo. But since I don’t partake in party politics I won’t stoop to your level.</description>

Amen to what you posted Mr. Oldenbourg but in all candor, Dave M does only what he knows how to do.......throwing stones with the intent of inflicting acrimony and pain because sadly this is what he seems to thrive on.  To those who believe in either the power of prayer or the power of positive thinking, all should send them his way to help ease his affliction.</description>

Damn it, Dave--Can&#039;t you tone it down and just get your point, on its merits, across? You don&#039;t need to stress that Eduardo typifies anything, or the glassy lunacy that Democrats love stupidity. You&#039;re making yourself ridiculous, and that&#039;s not generally helpful in any conversation we&#039;re all trying to have. As Americans we tend by default to value your viewpoint, as we do anyone&#039;s who cares to weigh in. Why not contribute for a change, instead of going over onto attack?</description>

		<description>Just remember that these are the same people who want Trump impeached.  America in general and Ca in particular just get more stupid every day.  Eduardo typifies the sheer stupidity that is so common in this county.  Democrats love stupidity.</description>

Thank you Eduardo.  You probably won&#039;t change the mindsets of some but you stated your opinion quite well and articulately and stated &quot;some good food for thought&quot;. :)</description>

I&#039;m not a big &quot;pot head&quot; or anything like that. I&#039;ve smoked weed, and do so from time to time. It doesn&#039;t make me any different than all my friends and family members. 

I think sometimes it can be tough to accept change, and with that things that were once illegal are deemed bad when becoming legalized. 

What ever happened with all the prohibitions that happened in the US? Guess what, those banned things were legalized and no one is complaining. 

There&#039;s things out there that are deadly and addictive, and marijuana isn&#039;t one. 

It&#039;ll also help aid for schools, hospital and roads. Putting those tax dollars to work. Don&#039;t you want to help out?

How many people get into acts of violence from alcohol? How many die from alcohol poisoning? How impaired does one become and is subject to doing dangerous things when under the use? 

Tobacco, at least from my understanding in Cigarette form is also dangerous. Not so much in the physical sense of doing harm to others but to doing harm to one self. A single cig can have over 200 chemicals and cause some severe damage. Daily smokers can go through a pack a day and don&#039;t often think about who&#039;s around them when they&#039;re smoking and could care less for their health even tho many others worry for them.

Weed. Yeah it might make you act silly. But it doesn&#039;t cause people to fight. It doesn&#039;t disorient you like alcohol does. And sure, it can have negative properties from inhaling all the carcinogens such as cigs. But it is mandated that you can&#039;t be smoking in public, gotta be at home or in private doing your thing. Unlike all the cigarette smokers out there smoking outside of business establishments and in the public of young ones. 

Anyhow, I have more to say but that&#039;s enough for now. I&#039;m a bit more logical in my sense on speaking, I put my emotions aside and see the perspective of all. Not just a select few. Thank you.</description>

		<description>Tulare has become so pathetic. This is a sad day for City of Tulare.   I thought we were better than this.  Thank you Dennis for having some common sense.</description>
