Is it really necessary for the Gov of SC to offer her thoughts on a song by a B-list country dude bro?

SD. Free country last I checked. Why all the censorship nowadays?? Hmmm?
Therein lies the problem. I self-censor in public settings all the time. I’m not weighing in with the bank teller on the Aldean nonsense.

Does that guy think CMT plays any of that guys rap songs either? Duh!

Just kidding though. It's pretty unfair-- but don't feel bad for Jason Aldean!! He can play the victim card all the way to having this song make more money than he ever dreamed of. It's the best thing that could have happened for him!

That dude is a Hack... Take the pandering message out and that song is terrible, as is so much of "pop country"

It's a cash grab song and that's it...
He still has the right to make it and sing it.

That's actually a huge problem right now. All these dimwits on social media think people care, and shockingly enough some do.

Some didn’t. I read the measure. It was written by a pro pot group and was purposely misleading. SD’s AG was a hot mess and his explanation of the measure was poorly written.
Can you post the verbiage .. I’m pretty neutral (more pro pot, but the pot heads annoy me) but I’d like to see it.

I’m sure you can google it. I read it in an area newspaper the Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan. I’m 64 and had multiple friends 65-75 years old from the Yankton area who said they voted for it thinking it was for medical MJ.

I’m not a fan of modern “country” but play me some Hank and Bob Wills.

I see the term medical use used several times so yeah.. gotta agree with dingle.
It clearly states to legalize, regulate and tax marijuana; AND to require the Legislature to pass laws regarding hemp as well as laws ensuring access to marijuana for medical use

The reason it got shot down in the courts is because it included two items.. Rec and Medical

The govt approved the language … the people voted, and when the govt didn’t like the outcome of the vote they decided their constituency was too stupid to understand what they were voting on and nullified it

Is that about right?

That is true. Remember I said it was 65-75 year olds who told me the ballot confused them. The real problem was the way the AG’s explanation appeared supposedly. One woman thought you had to approve both to get medical pot.

That's fair.. I'm from a much younger demographic and they all knew the agenda.. They all had sources regardless of regulation but now everyone can just go to Flandreau (Indian reservation) and get what they need with no hassle... I think that's what drove down the number of voters on the 2022 amendment

Small? Come on now. 852 people. Guaranteed you've got a Dollar General and at least one Convenience Store!
Haha, I hear ya!

Recently (3 years ago?) did my hometown get a Dollar General. Definitely a c-store.

Yes, there are many smaller towns in Nebraska (my wife's hometown with population 410 had 3 bars at one time!), but <900 pop is still small, right?

Weren't they pulling people over leaving the reservation at one time? Not sure if they are still doing that or it was as bad as advertised.

I don't know of any one that has been pulled over.. Hard to justify as there is a casino there so people are there for multiple reasons.. I don't have many friends that go for this reason so my sample size is small

It’s the govt job to approve the language or educate its constituency about what the proposal states.

It’s some fascist **** to just decide what the electorate voted isn’t valid

Why not just purposely make proposals vague and if those in power like the results let it stand and if not nullify it claiming the language was confusing

Make it clear and simple.. it was purposely misleading and some (anecdotal as it is) thought they voted for something else.

You can’t with a clear conscious think the verbiage was clear, right?

I could fix it in two seconds

1. Should weed be legal for anyone to use that is over the age of 21

Yes or No

Boom - solved. No confusion.

It’s not my job to make sure the language was clear. It was the governments. They F’d it up.
Results should stand and if they want it brought up in another election then they can put it on the ballot again

But you’re weighing in on a Husker board? Fascinating…
Usually that’s just a bunch of jackasses opining about football. That’s why I’m here. Maybe Noem has a take on whether Sims is all that and a gag of chips. Once upon a time, midwestern governors of both parties didn’t feel the need to weigh in on contrived culture war items. Sadly, that time is past.

Is it the governments job or the people bringing it to the ballot? I thought they typically run it through to make sure it will be legal though.

Anyone who thinks weed shouldn’t be legal citing health and abuse concerns should also favor making alcohol illegal

Probably.. but alcohol is already legal. If both were illegal today you’d have a leg to stand on, but your myopic viewpoint is your proverbial ball and chain.. good luck with that

Probably. I’m just not in the habit of restricting freedoms like some one these state governing bodies

You bet! Mine was about 550 growing up and had 3 bars. Now down to one ****** one. People just don't booze after work like they used to I guess
