Cris Ericson, candidate for U.S. Senate. SAPA TV video
http://www.crisericson.com www.sapatv.org
Biographical Sketch:
Cris Ericson graduated with a B.A. Degree from UMass/Amherst
and also received credits from UCLA in Workers' Rights, Industrial
Relations & the ADA, taught by EEOC Attorney Ralph Fertig.
Cris crewed on a fishing ketch sailing 2,400 miles from San Diego
to Hawaii when the Captain and other crew went below deck to seemingly
smoke pot and get stoned. Cris had not been informed that there would be
drugs on board. She became temporary Captain by default when a
storm came up with Cris alone at the ship's wheel in control,
and 20 foot waves crashing on deck. Cris decided that marijuana
should be legal so people don't conceal it.

Wow! This video is enough to scare the bejesus out of any young person using pot. Could be a very effective anti drug campaign example.
ReplyDeleteShe means well, but your analysis is spot on.
DeleteI'm having a hard time figuring out if these are real policy positions or simply a parody. I don't believe I have ever heard a more rambling, incoherent set of plans in my entire life. Someone get a net!
ReplyDeleteIf Pat Leahy outlined the same set of proposals/platform,no one would bat an eyelash,they would be embraced and he would be re-elected handily.Go figure...! It is not the message, it is the messenger,I guess. I would support a few of her ideas.
ReplyDeleteNo, J, Leahy would be laughed off the stage if he proposed #'s 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 15 and 17 for a broad number of reasons.
ReplyDeleteJust to take one example, even if Lake Champlain were entirely free of industrial, agricultural, municipal and domestic runoff, it would not be potable; the water wold still have to be treated before consumption, or else people would be likely to die from illnesses such as typhoid or giardia (beaver fever). However, as you point out, other ideas are very worthwhile, and it is indeed the messenger rather than the message that gets our attention.
