Tonight Obama caved to pressure and extended tax cuts for the wealthiest. I want to do something about it, but I'm not sure what. Of course lots of people (myself included) are busy with finals, but I feel unable to stand by and watch this happen. If you feel the same way, get in touch. Maybe we can figure out a way to protest.

Hi-
I'm an Indie store owner in Northern Michigan. My wife and I own the store which is a general bookstore, all new books. We're fairly big with 2 floors and 5000 sq feet of selling space. We love the industry and love watching the kids in our community grow up reading from our shelves. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-04-13 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwOGU3Tm9kN0szRnRwWVg0Y1hPeHZVdUxfOVpCZk56aGd2MjFoSDBXT09zalpoYm1Id294Tk5EOTVlWWZCaGVOdVRvQ1gtd1IyMy1ncFJfZ1RzQTNCVXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoYmdldTNEdmMtMEdqQnMtNS1ETEM1YzFmWXVjSF9QaEdkaHFpWF9kRlk2ZW9HaXJ5MkJWQmF5WGkwVEk2SGFGeHVGUGVqWEhfY21jUlh1bEthQzI2WmdUR1NRaDdDdDRIME1nQXJlQllVaFptaVFnN2pmSFVkdDE0Wm1jX09nU1ljTlJvQVRiVTBMdU5RT283N3dvOFdzVXFfbzdUY0doVUhzU2R1N3RlY05GdlpTYnZYNHpteW5MWWpxX0gzOXkydW5YTXV3TWJPNVI4ZHZlRkU4b0ZOQT09 |

Do I count? I manage an elementary school used bookstore (3 to 4,000 books right now), but I sell books using photocopied "book bucks" that students earn.
I do the buying, making the same sort of judgment calls as a used bookstore, assessing the age and condition of books, and their likelihood of being desired by my customers. A chief difference is that all books have the same value in our store. I buy them all for 25 cents, and students can buy any of them for 1 book buck. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwWUZJRFl3WFRUcTktZUExZU9QXzd0LTlPekNMZ2NZaGxwalMyeGNMN1g5ODIxZWRBWDQ3RFdHeG1xbEgyeDM4MWhDUU1QMTNRbFh1eTY2MnRSNGFqMVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoWWtDQ3VpZGczM3NkMU9tMTdMajczRnZwdDdHZ0pSb3R1VTRUeXd3UGZhQW1FRzI0bDdRT1g2WlF2RVBnQVNfQ09HNmZBTFV1dXJzUHg2aEI1T2IyaURTc21fel9Ka1o2MjZRVl9DVHJySGdQRXRpVGtJVHp4UklaM1Z0S2J4V00zTm5KMHUwdmNnUGwzRkVJeTNHNHNwWVdVN3JiQ1hZRnpNMVhvSG9SaTJrVlpsdEl1M1M3cnJ1MTBDalZST0hHaERFcnpOeHBodDRhdVNwaFhVaks5dz09 |

I lived in Portland for a year; sadly, Powells chose not to hire me.

Since our volunteers have strong political positions, we have made a rule that no volunteer, while "on duty", is allowed to sneer at a customer's purchase.

We haven't had much success with book associations. We are way too small: less than 5,000 titles.

I agree that business classes are a must. I didn't take them and I've made mistakes because of my ignorance.
Business school gets you used to the fact that you will be in debt to a lot of people for a lot of years. A friend closed her store because she could not tolerate that pressure.

I don't like that feeling, either.
We have been very lucky with our shop, we have only had one year in the red (2002). It helped that we were able to get our listings online very early; I think we were sending floppies with all of our books to other dealers in 1993. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwSmZCWldKMFlCbjktSFZabDl4TlRqajlJUEM4aVFmcmtQS2lUUmFySUFCRHpKQVBYUkU5TGI1MjhCOWF1Z3F4X2ZoZ3dzbkZLeUJqZUNrZ3ZUcHNULWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoLW1DN3pFbkFna0ZCVTZULWdiOEVvQzAyZk0yT0h2VmgyTjd6bGx2LUhUWFc1eXhERVpnbGtRbFhQT1VXeEtRU0xzWkx4ZXE0ZDhjdDB0UWYxaW9IajJTbGFyVWhLcERsbFFKMjFWYkptd2Vkd0R4alJsckZFS0tSQ3E2VzNLMlE4OFBRRXFxdHlVOUNLSmVaQmRZMkNJSUtQZVJLVUV4OTJlU0JGQ1pnV1ZUM05xZG1jdUpTS1Z2Z20zekZab3JNYTRQY2NqLUs3amVtTjdJbEFwZEhBZz09 |
Our teachers are given an allocation of book bucks to distribute as they see fit, with the caveat that I'd like their goals to be achievable by all students, e.g., this isn't a reward just for the best performing students. The allocation comes out (if evenly distributed) to about 3 books per student this semester. On top of that, our math and reading intervention instructors take kids to the bookstore and our librarian does whole class contests.
I just got a donated Mac and bought a CueCat to make a LibraryThing database. I might have time to build a database this summer. Otherwise, I do no tracking. Recording books as they leave the store would be very taxing given our limited volunteers (I'm a parent at the school). Is there a better way? If I need Windows-based software, I can get a PC donated so long as it doesn't need to connect to the Internet (dumb school district politics). Our Mac is on the Internet.
If we have 3 copies of a book I think kids will like, it's a good thing. If we have 3 copies and I'm doubtful, I stop buying it (so far, a Pirates of the Caribbean novelization is the only one which qualifies). Basically, the inventory is in my head, so it is a concern whether the bookstore can survive without me.
The bookstore is possible because I'm a freak garage saler and buy the books from used sources for no more than 25 cents each, yet only buy books in really good condition. What makes this cool for me is that last night I attended yet another school board meeting where they're discussing the latest round of budget cuts (this is something like the 5th year of cuts, down to stuff people REALLY care about), yet we've managed to build this bookstore using no school money (other than paying to keep the lights on – the heater is broken). We're a Title 1 school with 50%+ poor families, and yes, I'd be happy to accept donations to our nonprofit parent group, via PayPal or a direct shipment of books. Thank you!
Here's a [page]( http://www.thingamababy.com/baby/2010/10/schoolbookstore.html) with photos. It was mentioned in Reddit a few months ago. I quickly set up a PayPal link on a Saturday morning and received some donations at the tail end of being in Reddit's spotlight. This also greatly boosted my participation in Reddit, buying Reddit Gold, etc. to support this community. I'd gladly accept anything that comes our way. I'll be posting an update about the books Redditors bought within the next few weeks. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwdFkxSGo0STBRVW1uMDR4WmtrdVBsX2o4Nm9rUkNUNnRmZmV6bUN0VHAxZjdyTjNDOFc2YnlVR01WYlVhRUp3dHk2Z1NRbGtKY2l4SlZJd3c3ZDZhTEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoWkVuaWZlX1R4WFQyOFkxVkQyX1VRMlQ5cWhvVUZBcFFYWVJqSDRmcm5rbzRBMVE0LTlUZGNUUy1LVUwtLVE5QXBsYmlQV2JDaURWemlhR3NtQkc1b2xUal9aQndsNHJuZlR0bzFjQUZIZVgyUkY5RmZOWWJ6ZWlpQmlteXZOR25GS1NSVnBiYlkzSGhtYXVULURXY05sRVB5cndkRld1VW5sQmRydVNMbkNyVlNWVEcxdmtpUU5PODBIUkRDc2NCSnJCN3BUSkJ0cmt0djFOc3Eza0o3dz09 |
We decided to switch to the Indiecommerce website platform offered by the ABA over a year ago. It made a huge difference and in December Google partnered with them to supply ebooks to these websites. Now that the Agency Model is in full swing(the big 6 pubs have all signed) we are selling ebooks for the exact same price as Amazon! I never thought I'd be able to say I can price match the Amazon, but for the majority of ebooks that's the case. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwUjZOZFpNNVdYaDAxUzhUdks3ZHZkY3EtVXliVzVrVWlUR2NibGxxNDJLTWM4aTY4VHJieFRBNjZHYmo5RUhrcWQzVEdadVhFVGJpMmtDUE93ZWhSU3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoeldlSFd2cl94NllrQVd2eEg2ck9DZjVwMktrX21ZNTZIbXpXSS10RzM1UWpCa0FuT0JJNGxUTTJXLWg5VF91ZlcwNnlyZ09YNGljQnpTNXU3T0ZQYmZwTE5jaGlDbEUwRldHMm9qQVNnQmpwVy1XcjNVOGwzYjJjWE5qd2lwSDdQTEdiUWtQQXhkVkVveHZGRVMtcmxJMHBMMjVQZVloQnpBN0lNNm9VcHNKMGN3UDFuejRjMGNUMHFmT2JqQllKV1AwZUZDaDFyYlczXzNzQXBqZDBkQT09 |
I took accounting 101 at the local community college many years after after graduating from College. It has been invaluable in keeping a handle on our store's operations. It's never to late to get more schooling. For those interested in starting a store I'd recommend checking out Paz & Associates as well as the ABA's Winter Institute. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwNl82eEhfQThTY1owN3FxbVpTRktuZl9nUmpOWDR6V0pjYl9EMlNrUkJwNld4WTdVbHFFVVQ5N1pQS2NVTFQwQXpoQjkxdk5Ca0pYdlZvR0JxVERpN2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoOFVSNnlnRmJQMWRqVW5CZkkyWUxaNExHQ25icVIzdXp3RF9NMFp4dG9XLXRvWnF4MjdfVElXaXFUcjE1aUFkYjVMVFh6YU5qRWNRaU1OYVltRTRuM1J0T05wNjVtTUZYQndwbDlWS29vdVNOc0JWN1VWdmJSY1lubGN5VE84a1Jha0JRV0dWeEpZNmdxdjhRSkdKUXF2ekxRTGpVbUZHVC10M1F4NzBVd1NHZjlHRTdybWNSVWpzbHViZ0pzTEd0MFJRcy1CRE1zd2dCRGcxRVhUVXFPUT09 |

It's $230 but as soon as they have 300 store active they are dropping the cost to $170. The ABA wants to run this as a revenue neutral platform and once they have more participants they'll lower the cost. Check out http://indiecommerce.com/ for more details. Just keep in mind that you(the bookseller) need to look at this as a tool more than a service. Many have been frustrated by the lack of "support" but if that's what people wanted from this it would be $500+ a month. It's a tool and users need to educate themselves on how to use it. Oh yeah, they do handle CC processing or you can have your own Authorize.net account as I do | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-04-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwZ1A4M1ozM2RjazhCcmsybTRyQ2RFbEZtOEZ0bGtIaUpHN0FkUEFZQ0RQRHB5SndrQkpTREY2b1o5MUpEUHowcV9pRjVKeFB4OV9SU19IZ1BXZ09SSmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoTGRjZGdTNW5jMFlQMS1iMF9wdGhqN1VJZ2ZydlRGcXpkSkoxZUFLaVVXa1hVbkFYZ0psZTlTVVlCUWFpVlUybzFIZzAxc21rMkpLbXphbVk5Tm84eVk2cF81c2pYTk1ob2xISEVHUllpWWhwQWo4S0lOb2ZoYldtdHlJQUpOeVNzUmhkTGdRQ0hhYTFSQkN3TDVITWZqYzlxVEx1TVdiVTJBVVRCRVZTNGd0QXlJaGRsd25MWXl2MEJvTFBNcEZmR3A0LW04SnlQbFJoS2huWnhPcmM5QT09 |

My company just came up with a social media policy, how we can't criticize the company outside of work, so on and so forth, without a disclaimer saying that what we're posting is our own opinion, not the company's.
This is also why I'm not saying the name of which chain I work for.

At $1 a box, wouldn't you rather give the books away? Have a free sidewalk sale if you can, or have a free box near the door. Use the books to build goodwill. Update the freebies every day, and after a week donate the leftovers to a Friends of the Library group or a nonprofit thrift store. Stamp the inside of the covers with a "Donated by" stamp that includes your store name and address. View these unwanted books as a marketing opportunity.
I operate a free bookstore at an elementary school. The stamp is virtually free guerrilla marketing for a service we'd be doing anyway. I'd think a commercial bookstore would have twice the incentive to spread its name and promote its beneficence.
Er, but if you sell online and don't have a website to promote, hey, still donate them to a thrift store a little at a time. A Friends of the Library group is probably best prepared to accept a large single donation. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwUzh0YzdNMk9fR2trZTRvei14VFpIdDZLY01ZRWlmaHJuTmNhZ2N3YkpENW1fbkZkWHZRWkM4X1RwRWRKU1Q1SmNJN1JZZzVsczVGNzRkamp2bWdYWGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1Vocy1IektJYzc2RTU1d0dKd004ZlFabG5lcndLZF9uMXdqRk53cElBUmhQUU5tUS1uc0pnTWFfRWFIejRlbElybWtteURFVGpZUHNTS3VSalRVdXd2b2hVUHVlV3lSUzV4SS1Wd1BPTGlsVWVJOTNFUkVQS2tCTjNueHpIeG5VdEU5UTZ1aG96cjVEd244WGgzSENhQXNPaFZxQV9KMFc3WnJFaTJhNzNqcE1JbTFsb19BRXl2bEZucThuMU9JQ2dh |
I like the "Donated by" stamp idea.
As it is, I already give away about 1,000 books a month. I regularly have giveaways on the website, have a 15' by 5' two-sided shelf with free books in the shop, and have several regulars who come by and pick up a bunch of boxes.
It's just not enough. Spring and summer are sorting season, I can easily build up 10,000 of these books a month. We have a bunch of storage buildings with about 900,000 unsorted books, and more always coming in. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwdVZnMDlhQm1aVl93QUV6SmpSRERaVG5UNUVlZVR6TWVFSGE0Z3pXWGpjNEYzbjNMTDJWVWRyOU94Njc0azRhaHFCUjZzRUduTTB4a082ZllnMEllQnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoeFgwMXBTdFd5dk5oMXdCa2ZaZXZySjFmU0pMeW92OVFnX1M3ZkdwWmZRdXFkTGc4XzFfT2ExY3phTGx6Mk5RVXRVbkxnOFgxUjhpeGJjcXZHMHNvb1ZJN2tRYkczREcyNUZLd2xGUU1XandZRWFEZjRrZE9qOWN3NFN5N0hPRDBMOWN3YnhUQ1hwTHE5Mk5qNVNpcWJjeVl2VkZVUXB5SGtNLVJNTEFZYW1LS0xFUlMzblQyTVZlV293MTQ4SF9q |
I buy from thrift stores to supply the school bookstore. My observation about prices is that the smaller the store, the higher the prices. Big thrift stores get too many donations, so they drop the book price to move books faster. If you have 900,000 books gathering dust, try sorting faster and selling more by selling for less. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwOHRrSkhMTjlvOG0zWkpLRF9YeTZDZGRjRk5yUTZhYTUySDB3Rk1nMkktdEJWc01UTDA0RzZrTm90UUUtVF83RjYyaE9uc3F3UURHX2YxQTQyaGVDVUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VodEhNdjM3M29nOTJCMUhacG1zWXcxRGxURHJPQnhXcHJCN2RYckMxalFsMXk0RmU1MFlOQnY0N282d0pnSEV0Y2tjRDFYdmxSMHJ0X1hwSGtBSGdCVi1tc1psbWQ0amRZTDNmWE9lZC1zSmhPdlFkaEJtX0pkNS0yQnd2MHliVDlSV19fZVlMMEptSWg3aUpxdEFkd0pURXhENms5SzBSMW1rVnRFVGV1Sm5NTHlUbklGdktwQWphXzNDY3ItMHVI |
Unfortunately, there's a logjam in the system. I could sort and price a ton of stuff, but then I'd have to enter them into our database, upload them to the sites, and eventually sell them. Then I'd have to pull them, wrap them, and ship them.
I just don't have the infrastructure to greatly expand our operations like that. I often feel like we're overworked now, with 4 regular employees. Our online stock sits around 80,000, and our average daily sales are in the 60-100 range. I just don't think I could handle even a 20% increase in the amount of books being processed.

When you wrote "two-sided shelf with free books in the shop" you meant you sell books in-person too, right? Sell all books in your shop at the same low price. Don't enter books into your database. Forget tracking the titles. You have 900,000 books to get out the door. There's got to be a way to log a generic sale at a set price. Record all of your sales that way until your book supply is manageable. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwYnFCanBSa1JTNElZX1Mtc0o0ZHVOX3pkMW96amxaZkhUT3BJV2ZyOVc3ZFdGMC1xY25CcFZfVFhLRW5wWHUtOW01MUFYV3VtM3pZS3B6LS1QckJOMkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoNldFUklYZU1RLVM0VmlhSEdBRUsxZUVrZFZIeWxtWWtld2JWa2dHbi1RTTJHaUQ0NGR0bDdIOHFtaFRjSGxTdWVQVXVFTkM3Q1lGUTNuamdDYzZzSGFkRkdkZzktSkRJck5DcDZzd2t4S1lOM3IyWnFVblZQS2lpaVV1YW0yQW1ycUJtakQ1bzVzSGFVSF9LdUQ1a2ZCNDFjcHBXRFJVOGZEX0VROHE5UGlmeW0xalM4Uzl1VUNOS0Z2S2dWMFQ5 |
I don't have enough walk-in traffic to really support that. We're open 5 days a week, I see maybe 100 customers in that time. The shop is mostly the warehouse for the stuff that's for sale online, our data entry center, and a place for people to bring in their books to sell.
The storage really isn't a huge deal, we pay about $1000 a year for 12,000 sq ft of storage space. I don't really have to get to all those any time soon, but I do sort daily, and produce a lot of low end byproduct. I've basically exhausted all of my donation spots, and was just curious as to what other people do with their stuff. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwYmJ4dnVZbDJaUlc3VG9qSWdmRXF6elA5T24yV1N5WnZVUUdpZWlXcEUzdEcxUldFUWFhdF9BYmdiRDgxWmNKbjdiaTNOZ0V2N0Yzekk5bF84cmRBRUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoUTg3SmhjT1VxdEN5bHZyRjFZckhpSERWcGlud2l4VmxGZi1WalpabjJkZFNkUjZvVXhjcllJN2Z6U3hTNG9NeFdxTnRDNUl3UUZXWFNaR2RXLVJES0ZaanhCN3BIWGh2UnBlSGwyd0V2SHBiWWl1UzF4eC1OWHRwbGotNm5Eb3ZvZkN6VDF4TnduZHdXNmZWb2VmLW84X0w2Ql93M3UwT3dXZ3UxS2dFdllyV3owZTU3cnc5bnVzWW1BalB5QVlj |

Are you still buying books? Seems like you could stop for a few years.
Do you have children's books? You could make a massive donation to local schools.

Heh, I could stop for 30 years! At this point, I'm just buying the ones I know I can sell right away. A few years back, I would always make an offer on everything.
I have a decent amount of kids books, every summer I put 30 or so boxes out by the sidewalk for them.

Schools discard old library books. The books are typically useless for teachers -- old, boring covers, poor condition, on specialty topics.
Teachers should accept books if they're recent (say, since 1995) on popular topics (pop titles). At our elementary school, teachers have classroom libraries where students check out books. This is in addition to the school library -- the books coming from teachers target specific reading levels. We're a low income school, so this isn't some sort of opulent luxury. Our parent group pays for some new books each year to replace worn copies.
If you have pop titles in your collection, I bet you could interest teachers. Could they visit the warehouse? Send a flyer (including a photo of stacks of wonderful books) to area schools inviting them on a certain day. But I suppose 30 boxes every summer is still quite something.
I wish you were near me (northern California). I'd rent a moving truck and take a bunch off your hands for our free bookstore. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwdUhQSm5hM0cySWV1NHZNUnhQSE5JNFdpenowQkgtYU9DZW5Ncm14Z3RzdGgySUdtWmx4YmY2ckpIQ3JyZFU0NmpuSWkzeTVkeGJZdE0yaWlYZzlWUnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoRVdXTU5nVGM0aU5DeUZsb1lYNGN3N0tqYUQ1UWw3Q3ZRQlVfLXJMa0Y1Z2Z0R2NZWEVMU0tLVVlUQkRDYXM2SDFzS0RMX0tmUnRqUW9pRG45cWluT2NpR2tzZHY2NmZ5ay10LUlueFlxS09TNjBqSHkxeXRmUFkwZm1XNjdvcGJZNlZfWnNJRHZ5cGVZNVAtWGFjOU94eGI3eVhfSG1raURLX3ppLVYwMXFjVzFWXzY2MHUyVnNCczZJN3lzM0hk |
I've really tried, especially with the local elementary schools, but the librarians tell me they don't want to "do the paperwork." So it goes...
I am trying to set something up for this fall, as the local R.I.F. program got closed down. I used to love that day in school, and I can't imagine kids not having it. Hopefully I can help with that. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UweElPWFp2cFMtM2xBRVVlTHlQWFBFaUJ1aVZPWHNkeXd0ZXVIN2MtUzNUTXZrempldkg1SWtscDVIZGhPS01aS1pyY1N5YnRabFpJRGxlWS1iZFpRaEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoUW16eWNYY0xwWWU2UTdXWkk0UTFwUl9LNjVCX2NGZzFqaTFwbml6am4xSlhtVXRDbl9tc1czdjlEUWNiR3dQVEZIZWdRMnF2ZS1nMkc5SHRWaG5NaUFnSU55MkhRdXB0bEFnNFoyMVpEbVBEU1p4TGpXdVBTcWtVenR2WE5VNTVQdkVTQkJZbklaaTZ0VGZUZmFnZkNONXFCQi16RTk4NFdYZTRTOWY2bWNaNzZSdUs0YnlIbHdLMkd2dDhrRmlv |
Oh, well, don't talk to librarians. I can't imagine what paperwork they think is necessary, but prepping books for library use does take time. Teachers shouldn't have any paperwork. I highly doubt they keep a database of their books.
Being a parent affords me special access of course. I just take boxes of books into the staff lounge and put a "free" sign on them. I take the boxes out a couple days later after teachers and parent volunteers have picked through them. | r/booksellers | comment | r/booksellers | 2011-06-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwM3ItQU5kdjE2elZoTDgtaFB1TVBXN0Y5dnJ0YXFvTGE5WENlQ1Z0UkhJaEotaTFTV2dRaFpvczA0ZDh3Z3A2M0ljQnEyUUZPaWczd3hEc0h5TGVCT2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VoSFZXR1JyM0tUUXgyQnZ6cmcwd2dqb1ZzeFdMUldiUk9Gb1ZiVS13cUtfU2pFUGRCeGJjc3ZOQkdSZk9za182YmVmZkJBN3dxSmtYTk5oWWtHc2tRbzFGbXB5QzlrRGdOQjJzc2NMR0Nuek1nQm0zZWtobk9CQXZDaVZfdVVLYjFzWXZjZ3RJY0hMSGpCbUVjRHR4YmtCTTFTQjR6djhjRnpoWFVLb1JWVzhlQ3llMjc1U2FqYmh4ZkpubFNPemFO |

The fact that Carter was not allowed to speak at the last DNC is atrocious, maybe if Obama will allow him to speak at the next convention, he may get to have a conversation with him and try to comprehend some of the wisdom that Carter has, and hopefully act on some of that knowledge if he wins a second term. edit: I'm ~~retarded~~ drunk. | r/thewarondrugs | comment | r/Thewarondrugs | 2011-06-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwMzVlcFByNzF1QlhoM1o5bHVkbDZvWjZrdTRXZjJsR2hIM2dmQ3BIdTFieVp6ZFhfSHdYR05pZklDY1lfUU5TdGZIQUp2ZHNWaG5IN2NCNzZwakZQZUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VobDVfNkF6MHhVU05xZ2lScWNZZ1lVQTRFTG5EWFpxaWk3YzZrUk1MZGtTTU5jd09sUFllTjNqUWtNa1p4TzRDZ19kdktLV1otb3g1UDRwdGkxbVVvdktWRHhoeDFTV2hySnNMM0haQTVjbzlqRkx5UHpjMW12SWpUTVZEUjZYcFlUbjh2eGdSMGZiYUxaRlZKRXc2VDdmZDJHSGhEMUxubGU5dkRRM21XQ1RXbWJDa1JyNUJ1RG5TZ25FVC1SVkxv |

>Wouldn’t those same urine tests, conducted not in jails but in better-off neighborhoods, show “inextricable” links between pot and banking — or the law or academia? Or even politics.
This is very true. Comparing the ratio of marijuana users to crimes, in the projects you will see an inevitably high number; as oppossed to in the suburbs where almost no crime takes place. Therefore such a comparison is useless because even without marijuana present the projects will still have *a lot* more crime than the suburbs. Now, if you test people living in the suburbs, you will still get a surprisingly high number of pot smokers; the only difference is the reputation of the hood against the "good part of town", which is why they don't drug test young white kids living in the city. | r/thewarondrugs | comment | r/Thewarondrugs | 2011-06-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1UwVWxmWTJDWWRiRjdpX3RsWlM5T2tHbmVUbmR2WVlJUnhGSlBnYVVTZXdkcTB0dXlhMFB4SHd0cE9fNk9lV1VEQW4xT1BTQnNJWURMYjNZSVBldV9yeFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm1fS1VodnhfcnpHS0VIekExb2NmdWJJLVhJS0toZVBQWW1ndzEzV2JYaFdUVVR2U1VWSHgtTG5XX3A3WV9aLW1BVDhOMENJSXp2aVl6S0c1Q2NnSndHb1dwOUR3MUFVSU9QbVZGaTVrT2RBcWE4aWRaR3NMUGUzSjhBRnZ6RUxfOF9Mdld2S0RLVnN0Ni1PZXhTdkRURVZqdHVFUjZheXp1S0NSRkxKMlpOWkZscWMxU2VTN2Z3RkxOTDRkS3BpY2NUY3NKMU1MR1RfeHRJeko1cWx6ZW5ZWHRCUT09 |
