I couldn't agree more. The DOJ has for too long been used as a weapon of the executive branch to selectively enforce certain laws and ignore others, the CSA included. I have to disagree on Eric Holder though, I've written to him before and his responses are troubling to a social libertarian such as myself. He's a big opponent of legalizing online poker for example because of it's "evils" and would not vote for legislation that allows states to decide whether to tax and regulate it. While republicans claim to be the party of small government and states rights, that doesn't seem to apply to sexual orientation / drugs / gambling aka anything that goes against their Puritan values.

edit: a well written article on the legality of state marijuana laws and their interaction with federal law: http://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/f.../pdf/PA714.pdf A decent response to the article, http://law.marquette.edu/facultyblog...arijuana-laws/ which makes the argument that states merely choosing not to enforce federal laws is not equivalent to attempting to violate federal laws, but that of course under federal law marijuana possession and use remains illegal.

omg.

if you're bound in a raid zone that other players cant bind in (except TD), then move your bind because it gives an unfair advantage to players that are bound there. if we wanted players bound there, we would not have removed binding there.

how is this thread 10 pages

This wasn't a dev led or instituted change, this was a player requested change given circumstances that are no longer a reality on this server. All I've been trying to do despite many trolls inability to reading comp throughout the thread, is suggest that we revist the rationale for the FFA Raid Zone distinction and the bind removal from said zones, because at least in my opinion the rationale we had based our request for the change on no longer applies, aka bind rushing casters, OR if someone else believes it still does apply, then it should be extended to further zones in Kunark, including KC. I have ZERO issue with everyone for the meantime changing their binds as requested until said discussion takes place.
