In the eyes of the federal government, pot use is <em>far worse</em> than child molestation, which is born out by average prison time served by convicts of each of those crimes. Excepting politicians and their families, of course. As I said, if justice were really blind, these crimes would both be punished - they were both committed at the same time in the same state. If the statue of limitations has long since expired on the one, than why not the other? LOL, isn’t comparing Polanski with Manson just as over the top?

But equivocating illegal drug use with an adult raping a 13 year old is over the top. The statue of limitations has long since expired on Governer Terminator's crimes, but Director Polanski fortunately isn't so lucky. Perhaps he can share a cell with Charlie Manson.
