Hate would be the persecution of the Jewish people in World War II. You are just a self-centered BOY who thinks he knows everything. How dare you minim...
The County of San Diego recently announced that it would not implement a California law that requires counties to create a medical marijuana identification program. First county supervisors said medical marijuana patients would have to sue them to get identification cards, but then the county changed its position after the local newspaper suggested the county should sue the state for declaratory judgment, which is what they decided to do.
