    Carlos Bonilla commented on the post, Social Media and Politics: An Interview with George Scoville, on the site Independent Voter Network 9 months ago

    Marijuana will be used regardless… With that being evident, why not instead put in efforts to control and manage its safe recreational use? Let me remind you this is a plant with no reported deaths due to its use

    Carlos Bonilla commented on the post, Nine Reasons to Save Public Libraries, on the site Independent Voter Network 9 months, 1 week ago

    I feel that libraries aren’t really promoted… I understand that it is hard enough now a days to keep them open, so the added cost of promoting them can’t be covered. But what could be some low to no cost ideas??

    I really liked the last paragraph of this article! I have never seen it that way, but I like it! I do think that a reform is in great need to the current “proper” process of living and working legally…
