"They" won!

Every year on 4/20 there is a marijuana smoke-in on the campus of The University of Colorado in Boulder. Last year there were 10,000 smokers participating. This year campus officials stationed police at every entrance to the campus, requiring student i.d. from every person walking on the campus. Not only that, but they also applied a particularly odorous fish fertilizer on the area where past smoke-ins had taken place. As a result, this year the crowd numbered only "several hundred," according to a Boulder Camera story. Nevertheless, many defiantly lit up at 4:20 p.m.

President Obama is scheduled to speak on the campus next Tuesday. I hope this November i.d.s will be required to vote in the election he is campaigning for, but don't expect that to happen in liberal Boulder, and certainly not in Denver, where the ACORN types (by whatever name they are now calling themselves) flourish.
Here is the link to the Boulder Camera story, which includes a video of the goings-on:  http://www.dailycamera.com/cu-news/ci_20441285/420-cu-boulder-closure-protests-marijuana

The Onion also weighed in on the story, with one fictitious observer noting "This is what's wrong with today's college students. In my day, we burned down the dean's home and he learned not to mess with our drugs." http://www.theonion.com/articles/university-shuts-down-marijuana-rally,27993/"They won
