It doesn’t work for me unless i use a suffix which I believe is set to my IP. That is the link I used for the image, but I fear it may not work for everybody else – that I should remove the suffix for the link so when other people click it they will not get an “under construction” splash screen, or an error page.

The tax heard round the world – palmspringsbum | 30 Aug 09: http://palmspringsbum.org/blog/2009/08/the-tax-heard-round-the-world/comment-page-1/

Oakland voters may take the city, the longtime epicenter of the cannabis legalization movement, to yet another threshold Tuesday. Measure F, one of four measures on a mail-only ballot due Tuesday, would establish a new 1.8 percent tax for “cannabis businesses” – believed to be the first of its kind in the nation.

“We’re moving toward being accepted like Budweiser beer,” said Richard Lee, whom High Times magazine deemed in its February issue as “the mayor of Oaksterdam.”

The tax, which Lee and other advocates sought, is imposed on the gross receipts from nearly every aspect of the cultivation, production or sale of marijuana and its derivatives – all of which happen in Oaksterdam.

The colonists of early America declared “no taxation without representation,” but cannabis advocates want taxation to get representation.

And Measure F is a harbinger.
