Although extrinsic materials (such as legislative committee memos or voter pamphlet arguments) may not be resorted to when the legislative language is clear, courts may never ignore the purpose of the legislation. Every interpretation a court gives a statute must be consistent with the purpose of the legislation. This is why statutes have long "preambles" which explicitly state the purposes of the legislation.
This rule is so controlling that a court is required to ignore the literal language of a legislative statute if it conflicts with the purpose of the legislation. By example I call attention to the appellate court case of Bell v. DMV. In this precedent setting case, the court ruled that a statute must be interpreted to apply to civil proceedings even though the statute they were interpreting stated it applied only to "criminal" proceedings. The court’s interpretation of the statute was consistent with the purposes of the legislation and the limitation to criminal cases in the statute itself was not.
I have my own conspiracy theories and I cannot even dignify what that guy was saying even if I were in the same state of delirium. Sometimes I think some of us smoke and dilute that mental barrier between reality and the subconscious' imaginative play on there of.
Anyway KmK good find man! I'm sure I would voted yes then if I were alive then and living in cali. Hell if I could I'd take up residence there now just to vote yes and hope to see it pass. Take care all. >>>out

Fortunatly its not the herb, I know people who have never done a drug in their life that are stockpiling pallets of ammunition and canned food for when the NWO takes over and poisons us with micro organisms designed to thin the population down to 10 million in USA.....
What I mean by propagandistic is that its language is meant to have an emotional effect rather than an intellectual one. Not meant by you, but the author of the quote. I can do without such things in my arguments. They waste time an headspace.
All I am saying is its a great article. But I don't agree its great for the language you quoted.
Why are you sorry? Because our opinions are different? If I were sorry every time I disagreed with you I'd be a sorry son of a b.
I was under the impression you were East Coast. I am a native New Yorker. I might have assumed you had a thicker skin when it comes to opinions. That's what I get for making assumptions.
This thread is about a specific argument, but for me, it has come to be about whether or not we at ICM are capable of having a good argument. I try to take my lumps and eat my piles of shit when it comes down to it and thus raise the quality of my own arguments... So this is how I handle the thread. When I have time, I read it and try to post my honest ideas and opinions of the arguments being made, without emotion or reactionary posting to the best of my ability. When I am wrong about something, or my opinion has changed, I try to own it fast and move on. Period. I'm not sorry for my opinion (old ones or new ones) and would hope you'd not be sorry about yours.

Frivolous. Thats about the only word I can use to describe this debacle. Which seems to be a common trait among the anti-19 crowd. You all make your argument. Then when it is denounced. Another argument comes. Then when that is denounced ANOTHER argument. It seems that there is no real desire for any of these other than you want to see 19 fail any way possible. Once you can no longer grasp at any straws for a new argument you all become the victim. Oh poor me. Oh me oh my. You pro-19ers are such big meany jerks, that I WOULD have voted yes, but since you didnt lick my asshole clean im now voting no.
Well you know what? Go fucking vote no. I dont give a shit. Because 19 will be a LANDSLIDE victory with or without you. So go ahead. Grasp your straw like the drunk ugly girl at the bar. Play the victim like a christian watchdog. Its all futile. In the end 19 will pass and it will be a monumental moment for cannabis legalization, rather you like it or not.

Look people why is it that this Site lets you get away with insulting people at every turn?
What happened to the Moderators doing their jobs?
I for one do not like this members acts.
I am complaining on the violence this member is allowed to get away with.
Would you stop? The Hate has to stop.
You like to make things up.

I thought this would make for an interesting discussion and a fun poll. I won't take it too seriously myself and no one should. Consider it a humorous way to explore how we feel.
Jack, you are one twisted puppy. Let me quote you from the thread about the asian grower who shot and killed the ripper that was leaving the grow location -
I think that you have your priorities, your perceptions, and your panties are seriously awry.

Jack I don't need to insult you to lower your value at icmag. You do a pretty good job of doing it to yourself.
