If you don't do this, please, no complaining about the fact that NH has some of the worst MJ laws.
Common sense tells me not to waste my time talking to government reps to try to push back the police state.
You go ahead though Denis.

If one participates in, and thereby endorses, the legislative process, he endorses the outcome.  Those who do not participate are the only ones who may complain.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't post here much any more.

That's a bit of an oversimplification, or is it too much of a generalization? I'd say in this particular case you'd probably be correct, but participation in something doesn't necessarily constitute endorsement. Civil disobedience is a good example. Serving time in jail willingly for a non-crime without attempting escape could be called participation, but is obviously not endorsement.

I seem to remember the last time we all argued about this, we got exactly nowhere. Denis was one of the people who was not, is not, and most likely will not, be convinced of that. Simply repeating statements only strengthens the accusations that they're just dogma.

Denis is the one who started this debate.  It's not like we go on the NHLA forum and say, "If you work within the system, you don't have a right to complain."

I have no intention of restarting that debate. "Agree to disagree" seems to me to be the best strategy.

True. But if you did, I hope no one would delete the post.
