In 1792..

As governor of Virginia, George Washington passed a law that required all property owner to grow either hemp or linen. George Washington was a slave owner also. I am sure a fair amount of the slavery was used in hemp production.

I would rather be a slave to hemp production than oil, as we are now. At least the planet would be far cleaner and we would all be healthier for it.

A true patriot is always ready to stand up against his own government.

Insanity is defined as doing the same things over and over again while expecting different results.

Blind faith in bad leadership is not patriotism.
