Ambush In The Night

(Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!)
See them fighting for power (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!),
But they know not the hour (ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh-wa!),;
So they bribing with their guns, spare-parts and money,
Trying to belittle our
Integrity now.
They say what we know
Is just what they teach us;
And we're so ignorant
'Cause every time they can reach us (shoobe, doo-wa)
Through political strategy (shoo-be, doo-wa);
They keep us hungry (shoobe, doo-wa),
And when you gonna get some food (shoobe, doo-wa),
Your brother got to be your enemy, we-e-ell!

Ambush in the night,
All guns aiming at me;
Ambush in the night,
They opened fire on me now.
Ambush in the night,
Protected by His Majesty.
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee. Ooh-wa-ooh!
(Ooh-wee) Ooh-wee, ooh-wee (ooh-wa), Ooh-wa!
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ooh!
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, ooh wa-ah!

Well, what we know
Is not what they tell us;
We're not ignorant, I mean it,
And they just cannot touch us;
Through the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa),
We keep on surfacin'(shoobe, doo-wa);
Thru the powers of the Most-I (shoobe, doo-wa),
We keep on survivin'.

Yeah, this ambush in the night
Planned by society;
Ambush in the night;
They tryin' to conquer me;
Ambush in the night
Anyt'ing money can bring;
Ambush in the night
Planned by society;
Ambush in the night -

Might not be.

If you look at the discrepancy between the numbers at the start and at the end, you will see about what the DooBees projected, except for the alteration in voting pattern of the 'last-minute' voters.

Since the 'truth' movement came late to this party, only the late voters were affected.

The good part was that at the party last night how I came across the same comment from young people, who apparently voted about one in ten.

I suspect by November, that registration rate will be up to about eight in ten.

Hamilton was right about one thing. He pointed out that the people were "a giant beast, with many hands, and no head" (in remarking on his disdain for them to Jeffereson.

Not something that most people wander around poking.

My little brother punched a hornets' nest once, when he was about eight, just to see if they'd come out.

They did, yano?

Despite voting en masse, and using every dirty campaign trick in the book, the MJ people have lost, fair and square. Please accept the peoples message that we do not like what you do, and do not want you to do it here anymore. Let's get our community heading in the right direction again!

OK now, It's official.
All you child poisoning drug dealers have to go back to what ever state you came from and crawl back under your rock.

"rigged" ?

Poor loser? Snivler? Idiot?

I'm pleased to see this pass. It shows that a good portion of people have seen through the 215 scam/abuse and want it to stop.

Way to go Mend0 !!!

And it means nothing, state law prevails. I planted 10 more last night and their is a big farmers market at the lake this weekend for cuttings if anybody needs them. Wow, those B people wasted a lot of time and money. We still win, B means nothing. And now we all know what stores to boycott (Ukiah won't get another dime of my money except a couple of small stores). Keep up the good growing folks, we still win. No limits this summer at least, 215 is law of the land now. I hope little Allman (who will be out next election) tries to pull his tactics and go after people with 20 plants. This county will be sued and end up broker than it already is. We still win.

a-men NOW MAYBE MIS HANBURG WILL GET A "JOB" AND MAKE AN HONEST LIVING. FEEL THE REAL WORK ENVIORMENT. WORK 8-TO 5 AND FEEL THE NEED FOR MORE MONEY THE HONEST WAY.THANK YOU VOTER'S FREE MENDOCINO COUNTY OF ALL THIS ILLEAGAL STUFF,MAYBE OUR CHILDREN WILL RETURN TO THE WORK FORCE?? YES!ON ""B""

Great news-now recall Allman-doper

That's the funny part (en masse).

Last night, I was getting the same line over and over. I think that about ten percent of the potheads actually went out to vote.

I don't think you'll catch them sleeping again.

If you note, the 'early returns' match your fantasy.

That last fifteen percent (the people who voted on election day), however, was a twenty-point loss for your side.

It's amazing what a little truth does to an electorate, no?

Now lets move on, there are some very worthwhile community projects that you should be involved in, the boys and girls club, the ukiah skate park, the food bank, the homeless shelter. please. find something else to do with your time and get involved in your community.

if you're worried about your kids smoking pot get off of the computer and hang out with them. when's the last time you took your teenager to lunch?

i tried posting this as its own discussions. apparently you all don't want to discuss anything unless its marijuana. become involved in the community. help the children don't sit behind your computer bickering.

So, post your name and address so you can be the first one to test your so called no limit in the court systems!!!

Plant counts and weight restriction were ruled unconstitutional.

"The early results are always brutal," she said. "It's the most conservative group."
THAT IS BECAUSE WE LAW ABIDING TYPES HAVE JOBS.
Great work, Mendocino.

MEASURE B IS ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
ROSS LIBERTY AND HIS BAND OF POLITICAL NAZI'S
HAVE DONE IS CREATE A HUGE LAWSUIT BURDEN FOR THE COUNTY
WAY TO GO REPUBLICAN FASCISTS!!!
CHEW ON THIS:
The state’s medical marijuana guidelines were ruled unconstitutional by California’s Court of Appeal May 22, 2008– a decision that makes most limits, including those in Measure B unenforceable.

The decision, People v. Kelly, specifically struck down the same section of law cited in Measure B – Health and Safety Code Section 11362.77 – which sets default limits of six plants and eight ounces per patient. In effect, therefore, Mendocino County citizens are being asked to vote on a proposal that, if approved, would be illegal.

The new decision is certain to spark a challenge to Measure B if it passes, clogging the courts and burdening local taxpayers, according to attorneys.

“At this point, passing Measure B would create more problems than it would solve,” said attorney Myron Sawicki, who specialized in marijuana-related prosecutions with the Mendocino County District Attorney’s office for 23 years. Sawicki is the recipient of several awards in excellence for marijuana prosecution from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration and the Campaign Against Marijuana Production (CAMP).

“Since there are no state guidelines anymore, why pass Measure B? It’s a waste of public funds,” Sawicki said.“Why spend the money? Even if this passes, it will result in spin-off litigation.”

The California Appellate Court (Second District) ruled Thursday that state legislators overstepped their bounds in 2003 by limiting the amount of medical marijuana that patients could possess to six plants and eight ounces.

The unanimous opinion in the Los Angeles court said legislators acted unconstitutionally when they passed a statute (known as SB 420) that effectively amended Proposition 215 -- also known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (CUA).

"The CUA can only be amended with voters’ approval. Voters, however, did not approve the eight-ounce limit and other caps… hence the section (11362.77) unconstitutionally amends the CUA,” wrote Justice Richard Aldrich in Thursday’s opinion. Text of the Kelly decision is available at: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/opinions/document...

Measure B has the same problem since it is based on the same six plant, and eight ounce limits, which were struck down by the Appeals Court.“As of today there are no state standards,” Sawicki said.“Everyone needs to go back to the drawing boards because if approved, Measure B will just add to the chaos and confusion.”.

The Court’s decision means it will now be up to courts and juries to figure out how much marijuana medicine each patients needs, not legislators in Sacramento or voters in Mendocino County, according to Susan B. Jordan, a local criminal defense attorney and nationally renowned legal expert.

“If it passes, the part of Measure B that asks voters to set a limit on the number of plants for Mendocino County patients or caregivers, is an illegal effort to put medical marijuana in the hands of the “politicians (who are asking for the support of the voters) and not in the hands of judges where it belongs,” Jordan said.
“Unfortunately, Measure B will not be a way out for what we all agree is a big problem,” she said.“And now it turns out it will be thrown out by the Courts if it passes.”

Well, keep smoking, so I can have job security in my career as a respiratory therapist. I am also the emergency response team leader at the local(loco?) hospital, so if someone rips you off, be sure to call me and my team for an immediate response( that is, if we're not to high at the time).
