Missoulian story.
If you thought the wolf debate was hot, it doesn't touch the Medical Marijuana issue. Both sides are worked up into such a tizzy, heads are spinning and explosions are imminent. The Comment provided by doohan is slightly refreshing amongst all the flecks of brain matter from both sides that have spattered onto the Medical Marijuana Comment boards. I will give it to the pro Marijuana crowd on this story, however, because the Legislature repealing a voter initiative is plain bass-ackwards democracy.

The entire idea that there is a crisis here was created by the media and others with a financial interest in keeping marijuana illegal. Law enforcement sees this as a jobs bill for more police, as it's alot easier to bust pot smokers than it is to go after real criminals. Organizations like the Rimrock group thrive on judges sending people with minor drug offenses for rehab, whether they need it or not. The Hi-liners in the legislature are radical right wing religious zealots who believe they know God's will and are intent on making the rest of us live accordingly. Lee enterprises has spent the last year putting the words "medical marijuana" in as many headlines as possible because it sells papers. I travel extensively within the state and haven't seen anyone using marijuana in public. If even half of the MM cardholders in the state don't meet some ill-defined medical criteria for which most people would agree the "deserve" it, why is that a problem for anyone else? I don't use marijuana, but find it bizarre that so many people with no direct involvement with marijuana get so bent out of shape about it. In a society in which we are free to abuse ourselves and kill and maim others through open access to alcohol, what sense does it make to demonize a healthier and safer substance?

House committee approves bill to nullify Missoula's equality ordinance
Missoulian story.
Montana Dems frustration of their perception of rampant GOP hypocrisy is boiling over. It's obvious to any sensible bystander that the Republican run Montana House is spending a little too much time meddling in social issues and not enough time putting people back to work as promised. Ms. Ann Thrope went so far as to invoke pop media to pop off some steam (and maybe even used her real name to do so- she aint messing around).
Any moment Aston Kutcher is going to jump out of the woodwork to tell us that "WE'VE BEEN PUNKED".

Schweitzer says Montana will defy feds, kill wolves that prey on elk, livestock
Read the Missoulian story.
Whet your appetite with this little exchange between leopard and BruceH59. Sounds like BruceH59 drank a bit too much of the Kool-aid at the wolf vs elk debate party. This hotly debated issue has become more Montana than Huckleberry jam.

You're right. it does make no sense, but you are dealing with right wing extremists who believe that elk only belong to them. They don't even care about elk. They are not wildlife lovers. They only care about killing elk and that is why they want wolves wiped out. It's not because they wanna see elk in the wild. They wanna see elk in the wild and kill them. They are not wildlife lovers, more like wildlife killers. Nothing more than gutless cowards with guns.

We know who the real cowards the eco nazi wolf lovers hiding behind their fake names and their fake cause. This has nothing to do with wolves but everything to do with closing down hunting. Only a gullible fool would support wolves wiping out 90% of OUR ELK. Enough of the con job so the Eco Nazi can collect 100 millions of their lawyer games suing and collecting the money from the tax payers. This greedy selfish anti American welfare payment needs to stop. Time to use some common sense cull the wolves down to the agreed amount 150 per state and not one more.
