Christians were singing and preaching the gospel at Pioneer Courthouse Square the day of the "Million man marijuana march". What is interesting is that for one, there was not a million protesters. I saw about 2-3000 involved. Secondly even though the Christian singers were right next to the protesters you couldn't see or hear them on the televised news reports. Almost like someone didn't want THAT part of what happened that day to get out. And thirdly, I must have missed the part of the news reports where someone was allowed to talk on camera that had a negative view of legalizing pot. I only saw the positive comments made by one of the proponents of the marijuana movement. How pot is not bad, and we should tax it. Reminding me of how "the love of money" can make any evil sound palatable to those who don't think beyond a dollar bill.
